Slave cylinder on a 2004 Jeep Wrangler?

The 2004 Jeep Wrangler uses a slave cylinder as part of its clutch hydraulic system (manual transmission models only). It's not directly part of the braking system. The slave cylinder is located inside the bell housing, pushing on the throw-out bearing to disengage the clutch.

To be more specific about finding it, you'll need to know which transmission your Jeep has (e.g., AX-5, NV3550). The location and specifics may vary slightly depending on the transmission. However, it's always inside the bell housing, requiring transmission removal or partial disassembly for access.

Because of its location and the need for specialized tools, replacing a slave cylinder is generally a job best left to experienced mechanics.
