Clutch Issues
I have a 2007 Jeep Wrangler a Unlimited Rubicon. Currently it has 35" tires, 6 speeds, and I'm planning on going to 37" tires and re-gearing it to 4.88. The last two times I have brought the Jeep out into the woods, it's been stalling a lot and I'm getting a smell of my clutch. My question is, do I go with a stock clutch or find an aftermarket one? Can anyone recommend an aftermarket clutch, if that is the way to go?
Thats a good question i was wondering the same.... when my clutch does go should i get an upgraded after market one or just replace it with a new stock one? I pretty much taught myself how to drive stick on my jeep and i beet that thing up so im sure it will go eventually
Most likely your throwout bearing goes first. Regardless, I recommend the Centerforce Dual-force clutch. It has a lighter feel (pressure on the pedal), and has more "grab" when being engaged. While working in there, also change the pressure plate, throwout bearing, and pinion nearing. Consider changing the slave cylinder, too, though that is an easy task at a later time (unless it fails in the middle of a 4,000 mile trip like mine did!).
