so i got the master cylinder replaced monday, and put the mt-90 in yesterday and now it looks like my clutch is about to go again, its releasing right on the floor again, this is with only 150 miles and most of those being highway. I mean I probably shifted less than 100 times and its already going again. What could be wrong?

Sooooo.... how about empting the master clutch cyl, attaching a pressure brake bleeder to the slave cyl, applying about 10-15 PSI to the bleeder from the air compressor , and reverse bleeding the system? In a huge brake system, we don't even know that a few air bubbles are in it. In a microscopic clutch system a few air bubbles, unlike in the brake system, can create ill shifting tendencies of great magnitude. Air bubbles are more likely to purge upward instead of downward as well. (Or does Jeep recommend NOT to pressure bleed the clutch?) You can build one of these pressure bleeders for about $1.00 from an old propane cylinder tank that we now have to pay the dump $5.00 to take off of our hands. LBR

Well, first off, if you paid someone to do it 1000 miles ago then take it back to them and see if they will fix it. Most repair shops warranty their work for a period of time. Try that first. $500 sounds kind of high.
