Default Clutch upgrade

Any help would be great.

I have a 2012 wrangler sport and my clutch just went out, i got alot of stuff stuck in the pressure plate and need to get a new one. My question is will the centerforce 2 bolt to my stock flywheel or not??

I'm pretty sure Centerforce and Spec both sell a kit for 13s now so they should have one for a 12 too. I would get a National Bearing throw out bearing with what ever you decide to get. The Mopar one has horrible tolerances on it. Mine started rattling after 1400 miles. And for future reference, never, ever touch the clutch when you're underwater or submerged in mud. That's how you get mud in between the pressure plate and the clutch. If you stall out, you can start in low range with out using the clutch.

Just to update center force doesn't make a clutch for the 2012 and up models its only for 2011 and older jks

I didn't build it to meet your approval I built it to meet mine.

Center force released full clutch kits good through at least the 2014 model not too long ago.

Hope this helps.

Happy Jeeping!

They say its for 2012 and up but it will not bolt to the fly wheel for it to work you need to buy their flywheel its not worth it the stock clutch is a beast and its cheaper center force is a great clutch but only if you buy the flywheel comes out to about 2,000 after tax for the whole setup

I got my kit Dual Friction with the 55 lb flywheel for $800 through Northridge. More expensive than the Mopar, but not 2 grand.
