clutch not disengaging - leaky master cyl

[Chuckman]

so after the burnouts posted on here, my clutch won't disengage fully. the master is leaking inside the cab a little. but a little is enough I guess. I managed to drive it home, but you've got to push it to the floor to manage to get it in gear. Ive lost 3" of travel easy. we bled the master but no improvement. replacing the old one is easy to do, just weird that it went out. its a new CJ7 4 cyl unit, pushing on an internal NV4500 slave. it worked great, until it didn't. now we really got the motor hot doing the burnouts, could it have skunked he fluid by getting hot? but after a night of sitting, I had the same issue. any helpful hints as to why this happened and how to prevent it again? could there be more going on in the slave that we haven't seen yet? Its obvious though that theres a leak in the master at the plunger end- inside the cabin.

Did you have any excessive clutch slip during the burnouts? Have you bled it yet?
Knowing that you're going to need to rebuild or replace the master cyl no matter what, I'd do that first to remove that from the equation. If it's that leaky, you could be bypassing fluid or have a pocket if air in there.
If you boiled the fluid at the slave, and have a pocket there now, it's never going to release properly until bled.

pulled all of it out and put in an AA unit with external slave
