Well i'm at 32,500 miles. Clutch is wear and tear item covered for 12mo/ 12,000 miles. I’ve had the throwout bearing tapping sound for quite some time now, say since maybe around 20K?? Recently went thru a mud hole, which not to my knowledge, happened to be head light deep. Didn’t get stuck, didn’t shift, didn’t touch the clutch. Nevertheless, the clutch still didn’t like it and shifted weird for a hour or two, and made some hissing sounds, then back to normal. But now, if I push the pedal all the way in, after 4-6 seconds, I get this slight squeaking/ squealing sound (almost sounds like a squeaky belt, but its not, only when the clutch is all the way in, and only after a few seconds does it start).

SO, instead of ending up stranded with a blown clutch, i figured i'd like to replace it sooner than later. That being said, 4WD and quadratec don't have any clutches that i saw for a 2012 JK. Looked around online and only found a few options, and they are over $500.

Well, from what i can tell, it's centerforce online or stock replacement from dealer. Can't find ANYthing else. Called NAPA, O'Reilly's and autozone, and they have nothing available to order for a 2012. WTF, not like this thing JUST came out
