If the clutch system is similar to that on my gf's 2.5 wrangler, the bleed
screw is an allen-head (I think, her's was plastered in mud) deal. Located
on top of the housing, about 5" behind where it meets the bellhousing.
Carefull with those lines, it's a one-piece item.. employee cost at the
dealer was $150 for that sucka!! Unless you've done something to
incorporate air into the lines, then my money is on a problem w/ the
pressure plate..
