So I need to replace the clutch on my JK. I am in the process of trying to get Chrysler to replace it free, but if I loose that battle I would like some recommendations for a heavy duty clutch. I just wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations.

I have 20K miles on the Jeep and I do not ride the clutch. I have had problems with it since I bought it. I have had to have the release bearing replaced about 6 months ago and it started poping out of gear about 3 months after I bought it. They say it needs to be replaced. I broke a bushing in the transfer case this weekend. I had to use 4 hi, it was my only choice, to get off the trail. They said I burnt it up trying to go up a hill. They said that the clutch was bad as I had no power in 4 hi. The guy at the shop could not get it to go over a curb in 4 hi.

If I cannot get Chrysler to replace it, does anyone have any suggestions for a heavy duty clutch?

 

South bend not sure if they are making them for the JK but i had a double plated southbend on my 6.7 cummins and it was a beast best clutch i have seen

 

wow a clutch so soon?..i have almost 60k on mine with no problems . i heard that the clutches are pretty tough on the JK

 

Mines not tough, I have 29,000 on mine and its gonna need to be replaced soon. Driving on 35s probably didnt help it but I dont think 8,000 miles on 35s would destroy it so soon

Im looking at getting the Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch for my next replacement.

 

Found this old thread on a search, did you ever get the centerforce clutch? What brands and styles are recomended? I was thinking a heavy duty clutch may be better for my jkur. The only times(twice) it has ever had any issues is in my driveway. I live on a steep hill, and when backing my trailer up the driveway (only with a full 3,500lb load). I have stock 410 gears on my jk with 35s, I backed the same load up the driveway with stock tires and no lift with no clutchy odor. Thanks for your input guys and gals.
