What heavy duty clutches is your JK running?

Really?? I suppose I'm just a mall crawler but I was able to get over 100,000 miles out of my factory clutch and only replaced it because I got a new motor and transmission with it. If I still had a manual, I personally would still be running a factory clutch but, that's just me.

80k on mine hope* she has that extra 20k left. But i agree after getting this far i think ill go stock replacement, maybe a different throw out bearing at that, sound is annoying!

I reallllly hate how easy mud destroys the throw out bearing. Even with no shifting in the mud.

Yeah my original clutch I got over 130km on and this heavy duty clutch has only lasted about a year and no where near the kms. What was the upgraded clutch in the upgrade for your LS upgrade @wayoflife ? Also, did you receive an email from me regarding an Australian event I'm organising ?

if you're playing a lot in deep mud it'll wear out your clutch components faster. if you're shifting in the mud or riding your clutch to keep it from stalling you'll burn your clutch out faster.
just replace it with stock, a more expensive clutch will not make it last long enough to be worth the extra expense if you play a lot in the mud.
you may be able to pull it apart, take some 200 grit or so sandpaper to the flywheel/clutch pad to remove the glazing caused by the mud. if the fingers and springs are still good, replace the throw out bearing and you may be able to get a little more life out of it.

Thanks for that! It's going into my mechanic tomorrow but wasn't sure what clutch to put in

the slave cylinder finally failed . It's the original so I'm not really bothered as its the OEM. Thanks for your feed back guys!

I was curious if anyone has seen this or done this procedure. It says its for the 2007 JK, but all Jks are using the same manual trans I think. I have the squeak until I push the pedal in and it goes away so I'm hoping this procedure would work for me.

if all the numbers on the manual trans match to the TSB I'd take it in and point it out to them.
I claimed a TSB on a Cherokee I had, wasn't for my year Cherokee but the issues and part numbers listed in the TSB matched to mine so the dealer took care of it under the TSB
