I'm having the same kind of issue with an NSG370 in my '08 JK. I bought a new clutch/ pressure plate from LUK and went with the Centerforce throw out bearing. Engine running in Neutral, let the clutch out rapidly yields a fairly loud rattling sound. Depress the clutch, rattle sound goes away...

You're certainly committed at this point! Good luck to you sir!

I absolutely love those wheels. By far my favorite "old-school" design. Wish I could stumble on a set that wouldn't break the bank. I know you'll be posting a pic as soon as they're on the Jeep - cant wait!

So the old stator with the broken tabs is shot. Something came apart internally when the wires got yanked. Welding the tabs back on won't help. 😕 I considered adding weld to the new stator, in an effort to reinforce the tabs. I hesitate though because I'm concerned about the heat. It appears...

I recently called Eaton to find out what the suggested amount of rotational free play was supposed to be for the stator. The tech told me .063" min. to .125" max. He also mentioned that this range is critical to keep the tabs from breaking off. He explained that if the stator is allowed to...

That's a bummer. Mine is still hanging in there. Let us know if you're able to source the bearing?

Hey Wildman, the OP is still around - just not hanging out on this forum much anymore. And his rig has changed a bit since the last time he was here... Needless to say, fuel economy isn't exactly a major concern!:ROFLMAO:

I had the same trouble with my tailgate a few years ago. As much as I really liked the High Rock tire carrier, it just created too many issues when I was wheeling the tougher rock trails. I liberated my tailgate and swapped my spare tire over to my trailer. I just bolted my old OE spare tire...

Refer to the thread title. I agree with you, however, the OP was looking for feedback on upgraded shafts...

Getting better tires will be a huge advantage off road. Not sure you need to go larger though? I get it, it looks stupid with a huge lift, yeah we've all been there. Why not just remove the lift? Stick with the 29s, save you money not having to regear. I'll bet you can find some used stock...

What are your reasons for the upgrades? Just looking to regain street/ highway performance? Does your Jeep get off road? If so, what type of terrain/ obstacles?

Gotta love those forum members coming in clutch! (y):ROFLMAO:

Keep in mind that those ECG shafts with the larger joints are also 30-spline. I also ran across these on sale. I don't have any experience with them personally, just seemed like a pretty decent deal. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D61DQ92/?tag=wranglerorg-20

I've had really good luck with my Viair portable unit. They rebuilt it for me for free under warranty at one point. Still going strong after 15 years.

I bought a Bubba Rope almost 10 years ago. It's served me very well. 3/4" x 20ft. 👍 Bubba Rope RENEGADE 176655BKG Off-Road Power Stretch Kinetic Kit 3/4" x 20" Recovery Rope With Breaking Strength of 19000 In Tane / Green Accessory Ideal for Recovery and Towing Stuck Vehicles...
