Default would bigger tires and added rubicon axles void clutch warenty

I put 35inch tires and upgraded to rubicon axles would that void my clutch warenty. My clutch churps when i go from coasting to pressing the gass pedaland then back to coasting. Does the clutch churp from there not being enough pressure on the clutch and pressure plate. Mine did that from day one and I bought mine october 14, 2006

And the lift won't matter, that has nothing to do with the clutch squeaking and they can't hassle you about it being lifted unless the lift directly causes something to break.
Thanks alot for the input, now i know how to handle the service writer that i love so much hahah

well my JK is lifted with alot of aftermarket,,,,they fixed it no problem. i knew something was wrong with it just by the feel of it. seemed a bit tight.
after they fixed it it is alot better. also before had problems sometimes getting her into reverse. all i know is something was screwed up in the clutch and it crapped on me at the worst possible time!

picture is worst day of my life when my brother had to tow me back to camp with his Ranger,,,,lets just say he had a big smile on his face. the jerk!

Mine is the same as hardcoreoffroad. Squeaks after letting out clutch and getting back on the gas...or just coasting and getting on the gas again. SQUEAK. MIne has 10K miles. Noticed the noise about 3 weeks ago.

Probably something needs grease or oil.

FYI, I had this problem and took it in - fixed it by replacing the throw out bearing.

OK, well after a year of complaining and contemplating having the dealer crack open the clutch, I finally did the deed this morning. ODO was at 11,991 when I dropped it off.
So, they are installing a new clutch disk as per the TSB.

I think that I am as stressed as when the wife went in for (minor) surgery. Sad, eh.
I hope everything works out well and I am happy with my "new" clutch. So far, experience with the dealer has been good, even got a free loander for this mess.

Anyone who has had this done have ady advice on what to look for when getting her back (shift boot, 4WD linkage, etc....)?

To be continued......

good call, I had issues with the tranny grinding into 5th. The dealer decided to throw a new clutch in it. They did not know what else to do. Now it sounds like a pop can banging around inside...

and it still grinds, so now my clutch is crap and the tranny makes noise

I had mine replaced after a few trips to the dealer and finally with a meeting with the Factory Rep he approved the repair..., now when I got the Jeep back i could not believe the difference in feel alone, it's like butter almost like a different vehicle all together, so yes ppl do it and take the Tech Bulletins with you...be persistent....

They usually replace the throwout bearing while they have it out. My advice would be to call them up and make sure they install the throwout bearing with the shim kit (per throwout bearing TSB). They had my transmission out TWICE because the shims were not installed the first time.

FWIW - I have about 6,000 miles on my new clutch/t.o. bearing and all is good.

EDIT - See this thread https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...ght=TSB&page=2 for details of my experience...
