GENERAL INFORMATION
A suspended-type brake pedal is used on all models
(Figs. 1 and 2). The pedal pivots on a shaft mounted
in the pedal support bracket. The bracket is attached
to the dash and instrument panels on all models.
A plunger-type, adjustable brakelight switch is
used on all models. The switch is attached to a flange
on the pedal support bracket.
BRAKE PEDAL SERVICE
The brake pedal is a serviceable component. The
pedal, pivot pin, sleeve, pedal bushings and spacers/
washers are all replaceable parts. The pedal bracket
can also be replaced when necessary.
BRAKE PEDAL REMOVAL
(1) Remove lower trim panel and A/C duct if neces-
sary.
(2) Remove steering column lower trim panel and be-
zel.
(3) Remove necessary dash panel-to-instrument
panel brace rods.

(4) Remove retainer clip securing booster push rod
to pedal (Fig. 3).
(5) Remove nut securing pedal shaft in support
bracket.
(6) Slide pedal shaft outward for clearance and re-
move brake pedal.
(7) Remove pedal bushings if they are to be re-
placed.
BRAKE PEDAL INSTALLATION
(1) Install new bushings in pedal. Lubricate bush-
ings and pivot pin with Mopar multi mileage grease.
(2) Position pedal, sleeve and spacer(s) in bracket
and install pivot pin.
(3) Install new nut on pivot pin.Pivot pin nut is
specially formed and should not be reused. Be
sure to install new nut to secure pin.
(4) ) Tighten new pivot pin nut to 27 Nzm (20 ft.
lbs.) on models with manual transmission. Tighten
nut to 35 Nzm (26 ft. lbs.) on models with automatic
transmission.
(5) Install booster push rod on pedal pin (Fig. 3).
Secure push rod with original, or new retainer clip if
necessary.
(6) Install dash brace rod, if equipped.
(7) Check and adjust brakelight switch if neces-
sary. Refer to procedure in this section.
BRAKELIGHT SWITCH REMOVAL
The brakelight switch is mounted in the pedal sup-
port bracket and is operated by the pedal. The switch
is secured in the bracket with a retainer (Fig. 4).
(1) Remove steering column cover and lower trim
panel for switch access, if necessary.
(2) Disconnect switch wires.
(3) Thread switch out of retainer, or rock switch
up/down and pull it rearward out of retainer.
(4) Inspect switch retainer. Replace retainer if
worn, distorted, loose, or damaged.
BRAKELIGHT SWITCH INSTALLATION
(1) Insert replacement switch in retainer. Thread
switch into place or rock it up/down until switch
plunger touches brake pedal.
(2) Connect switch wires.
(3) Check switch operation. Adjust switch position
if necessary. Refer to procedures in this section.
(4) Install trim panels (if removed).
BRAKELIGHT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
A plunger-type brakelight switch is used on XJ
and YJ models (Fig. 4). The switch plunger is actu-
ated directly by the brake pedal.
The switch internal contacts are open when the
brake pedal is in the released position. Brake appli-
cation moves the pedal away from the switch allow-
ing the plunger to extend. As the plunger extends,
the switch internal contacts close completing the cir-
cuit to the brakelights.
A circular, metal clip is used to secure the switch
to the bracket on the pedal support. The clip has
tangs that seat in the threads of the switch plunger
barrel.
SWITCH ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
(1) Check switch adjustment. Move the brake
pedal forward by hand and note operation of the
switch plunger. Plunger should be fully extended
when pedal free play is taken up and brake applica-
tion begins. A clearance of approximately 3 mm (1/8
in.) should exist between plunger and pedal at this
point.
(a) If switch-to-pedal clearance is OK and brake-
lights operate correctly, adjustment is not required.
(b) If switch plunger does not fully extend and
clearance between pedal and switch barrel is insuf-
ficient, adjust switch position as described in step
(2).

CLUTCH COMPONENTS
MECHANICAL COMPONENTS
The clutch mechanism in XJ/YJ models with man-
ual transmission consists of a single, dry-type clutch
disc and a diaphragm style clutch cover. A hydraulic
linkage is used to operate the clutch disc and cover.
The transmission input shaft is supported in the
crankshaft by a bearing. A sleeve type release bear-
ing is used to engage and disengage the clutch cover
pressure plate.
The release bearing is operated by a release fork in
the clutch housing. The fork pivots on a ball stud
mounted inside the housing. The release fork is actu-
ated by a hydraulic slave cylinder mounted in the
housing. The slave cylinder is operated by a clutch
master cylinder mounted on the dash panel. The cyl-
inder push rod is connected to the clutch pedal.
The clutch disc has cushion springs in the disc hub.
The clutch disc facing is riveted to the hub. The fac-
ing is made from a non-asbestos material. The clutch
cover pressure plate is a diaphragm type with a one-
piece spring and multiple release fingers. The pres-
sure plate release fingers are preset during
manufacture and are not adjustable.
HYDRAULIC LINKAGE COMPONENTS
The hydraulic linkage consists of a clutch master
cylinder with integral reservoir, a clutch slave cylin-
der and an interconnecting fluid line.
The clutch master cylinder push rod is connected to
the clutch pedal. The slave cylinder push rod is con-
nected to the clutch release fork. The master cylinder
is mounted on the driver side of the dash panel ad-jacent to the brake master cylinder and booster as-
sembly. This positioning is similar for both left and
right hand drive models.
CLUTCH LINKAGE FLUID
The integral clutch master cylinder reservoir, slave
cylinder and fluid lines are prefilled with fluid prior
to assembly operations.
The hydraulic system should not require additional
fluid under normal circumstances. In fact,the reser-
voir fluid level will actually increase as normal
clutch wear occurs. For this reason, it is impor-
tant to avoid overfilling, or removing fluid from
the reservoir.
If inspection or diagnosis indicates additional fluid
may be needed, use Mopar brake fluid, or an equiv-
alent meeting standards SAE J1703 and DOT 3. Do
not use any other type of fluid.
CLUTCH COMPONENT LUBRICATION
Proper clutch component lubrication is important
to satisfactory operation. Using the correct lubricant
and not overlubricating are equally important. Apply
recommended lubricant sparingly to avoid disc and
pressure plate contamination.
Clutch and transmission components requiring lu-
brication are:
²pilot bearing
²release lever pivot ball stud
²release lever contact surfaces
²release bearing bore
²clutch disc hub splines
²clutch pedal pivot shaft bore
²clutch pedal bushings
²input shaft splines
