Most likely thou you don't need to replace the whole clutch. Get under there pull it out clean the plate and check the bearing. Good luck[/QUOTE]

So I might be able to get away cleaning it up? Im not letting them fix it I just had it towed there as it was free with roadside assistance, then they said it would be covered I said id been offroad. Now they refuse.
I'm going to rip into it myself, moneys tight right now which sucks.

 

A clutch is really just a friction plate and an arm pushing on it. I mean that is a simple way to look at it but true. Its highly doubtful you totally destroyed the friction plate on a near new jeep. Its very probable thou that you sucked mud and a bunch of crap in between when you pushed the clutch in during a little adventure. I would probably start with pulling everything apart first and cleaning with a bunch of brake cleaner.

You might have got crap in the bearing but otherwise I would bet a good cleaning would get you pretty close.

 

Thanks, so I guess I will get it towed to work and rip it apart after hours if i can clean it up enough to drive with little slippage that would be great. If its wrecked I'll order the center force clutch kit. And do the work myself.
Iv ripped a 90 eagle talon awd apart took awhile replaced clutch, timing belt, and did motor seals and bearings, so I might as well give it a go.
Wish me luck lol I'll need it.

 

I tried someone holding clutch and spraying with hose, Alot came out gave me enough to drive, but couldn't do any more then 1/4 throttle it would slip Alot.

 

It's insane that a clutch replacement is required for anything short of turning your 2012 JK into a submarine.. I realize the mud is causing slippage but the clutch material should be able to rebound from a good flushing and cleaning.

 

I wish lol, it wasn't a hole lot of mud it wasn't that wet I was surprised it got in.

 

A good cleaning and you should be OK. I would avoid putting pressure on the plate until you clean out thou especially if you already rinsed and are still getting slip. You probably sucked up some small stones with the mud that is keeping the friction plate from making full contact. You don't want to score it all up if you can avoid it. Luckily the pressure plate is fairly weak on a jeep so it shouldn't hurt much.

 

I'd try a different dealership and just tell them you noticed it after pulling out of a muddy parking lot where you work. You have a warranty on an off-road vehicle and they are not going to cover it from some mud that got in? Crazy!
