There are two recalls for this problems #828 & #838. They do not include the 1996 two wheel drive, the clutch hydraulic is the same and we had the same problems. They fixed it at 98,000 miles and the same thing happened 15,000 miles later. Their fix did not fix the problem. They installed a shield but the plastic clutch line runs next to the shield and touches. Plastic next to metal melts and the line burst causing or can cause a fire. They will not fix it again. The recall also need to be expanded. .
Upon depression of clutch at various speeds, tachometer will show rpm dropping below idle speed, usually leading to stall-out. If vehicle is in motion, such as when upshifting or downshifting, and vehicle stalls, there is also loss of power steering, dimming of lights, loss of abs. This has happened multiple times while in the middle of curves, at night, and turning into sharp turns. The dealership has attemted to locate the problem on several occasions, and couldn't duplicate it. They did "flash" the computer once, but this did not solve a thing. I feel that eventually this problem could lead to a serious or even fatal accident if not resolved immediately.
