As I was replacing the clutch master cylinder on my wife's '88 Jeep Cherokee 4.0, I was reminded how looney its clutch hydraulics are.

The master cylinder's pretty normal, but the slave cylinder . . . Gack!

This car has a ZF/Peugeot 5-speed -- actually a nice transmission, but the slave cylinder is inside the bellhousing, concentric with the transmission input shaft! What were the French smoking when they designed this? When the slave cylinder died a few years ago, I had to remove the transmission to change it. That's a big honkin' unit with the transfer case attached.

It's another design that works better in principle than in practice.

MY friend has an 97 S-10 that the slave cylinder is in the bellhousing, and the crossmember isn't bolted on , it's riveted. It cost him a pretty penny to have that replaced.
