Default Luk Clutch installed in my JK

Well, my stock clutch finally gave out in my Rubi. Absolutely no warning whatsoever. Came off the freeway after going 75 miles in 6th and it would not downshift. After I stopped, it took a lot of work to find gears but I was able to limp it home. I noticed the actual clutch was twisted when it was taken apart. So my first thought was to buy a Centerforce which I have installed in other vehicles because of the performance and clamping power. Then I read good things about Luk clutches in the JK. After pricing both clutches and finding a deal on parts geek.com which seemed to good to be true - (Clutch, Pressure Plate, Throw-out bearing, Pilot bearing and alignment tool for $152.85 no tax free shipping).I decided to give Luk a shot. Clutch was installed today and works great. Very light pedal and grabs outstanding. Although it is too soon for a full review, as of now I'm definitely pleased.

Put one in my sons 98 TJ after two advance auto Chinese clutches failed. Neither of those lasted more than 6 months. So far the LUK is doing fine. It was highly recommended on a tj forum.
