i have an 88 XJ with a BA10 5speed, sometimes its hard to get into gear, the other night i had trouble getting it into first. sometimes it shifts smooth and others its rough. i recently changed the fluid in the tranny, shifted smooth after. i also recently bleed the clutch fluid. the other day i was driving and dumped the clutch into second gear (passing someone going on the freeway) thats when i noticed the rough shifting more.

my question is can i be the clutch/master/slave cylinder? i have never changed any of them nor do i know when they have been. the master looks new-ish.

also will any clutch fit or slave work? or is it transmission specific (AX15/BA10)?

i was looking into converting to AX15 but i have to buy piece by piece to get the best price. im looking to fix the problem for now until i can swap to an AX15.

also is it hard to change the T-case input shaft? i have a 21 spline and the AX15 is a 23.
