update--slave was pretty dirty inside but the rubber looked great--no obvious erosion at all.  Pulled the flex rubber line and did't see any defects---but will replace it anyway.  Will pull the master and rebuild it just in case.  It is a B***H to get to.Oh---the bleed screw on the slave is at the top where you can't get to it unless you remove the tunnel hump.  Assuming you can bend the rubber hose enough, is there any problem moving the bleed screw to the bottom?Tom

Tom,

The bleed screw is on top as any air in the system will seek the highest 
point.  Before he passed, Doug Reid made and sold a bleeder extension 
that put the bleeder screw above the bell housing, next to the cylinder 
head.  If you can find one, it would make future bleeding easier.

If you buy a new master or slave cylinder, make sure that it's 
compatible with silicone.  The last master cylinder I bought wasn't.

Cheers,

Bob Haskell

One other thing regarding aluminum cylinders, such as the slave cylinder,
is NEVER hone the cylinder during a rebuild.
Aluminum cylinders have, or should have, an anodized coating on the inside
to harden the surface and prevent accelerated wear.
If you hone those cylinders you remove the coating and you will find that
the cylinder bore wears very rapidly.

"... Doug Reid made and sold a bleeder extension that put the bleeder 
screw above the bell housing ..."

I've got one of those.  One of the best 'mods' I ever made to my BJ8.  
Bled the clutch once in the parking lot of a restaurant in Durango, 
waiting for the restaurant to open.

Although it is possible that fluid could have leaked into the brake servo
such leakage shouldn't affect the clutch.
Firstly if the servo was the culprit the brake pedal would go to the floor.
Secondly the brake/clutch reservoir has an internal divider which should
retain fluid for one system (brake or clutch) in the event that the other
leaks.
