clutch

It's me ... again. I have a '97 TJ and was experiencing some difficulty shifting (and random grinding going into 2nd & 3rd gear) that came on rather suddenly. One week just fine, next week not so much. In possibly a rushed decision, with it having 230K miles and being 27 years old (and original)...

Ahoy! SoI finally got my new clutch, fly wheel, and old transmission/transfer case put back in the LJ. Went to turn her over and she did not want to start. 4.0, 6speed, 231 Battery is reading 12.7, can hear the starter pop out. Shifters in neutral, clutch pushed in, go to turn the key and...

I'm having an issue where when the clutch isn't engaged, slowing down by letting off the gas or speeding up will initially cause the jeep to lurch forwards or backwards like the frame is catching up to the front axle's movement and they aren't tight and in sync. At least that's what a mechanic I...

I replaced the flywheel, clutch, pilot bearing, throwout bearing, master and slave cylinders in my 2001 Wrangler. Replacement seemed to go fine. I had no difficulties. The cylinders came assembled as an all in one unit and supposedly doesn’t require bleeding. Pedal feels fine- firm but not...

Hello all, I'm replacing my clutch for the second time in 3 years or less. I'm attaching picture of the pressure plate. This is exactly what the last one looked like. I'm assuming it's something to do with the throw out bearing? Could definitely be wrong, but the throw out bearing is concave on...

Hey guys, got a weird problem and I'm wondering if it's a sensor problem or maybe the clutch going out. I have a 1997 jeep tj 4.0 manual with 126000 miles on it. A few weeks ago I started having some problems with the keep lurching/ intermittent loss of power. Normally last for about a second or...

Hello all, Recently bought an 03 Rubicon with an engine/ 6 speed trans swapped from an LJ, with a new clutch and slave from the previous owner. (Has rubicon express lift on 35s but I don’t really think that’s relevant.) Driven it around 600 miles with no real issues until last night. Started...

Hey all, so I’ve got an issue I’m trying to diagnose and so far all I’ve got is that it’s got to be a clutch issue and it could also be steering column related. Not really an issue when I first start rolling but after I get where I’m going and I turn into a parking spot in 1st or 2nd and...

I’m told by my mechanic of many years that the Luk clutch is physically too small. They’ve got the “heavy duty” version. Is that the one I want? The part number for the “heavy duty” Luk clutch (that doesn’t fit) is 05-901. The part number I have for another clutch by Luk is 05-065.

Hi, My 2002 Jeep Wrangler with 185000 miles has a brief knocking noise that starts loud and quiets for 1-2 seconds once the clutch disengages from the flywheel. I am not sure if it is related, but when I am driving and release the gas without pushing in the clutch, the jeep catches and harshly...

Hi all, I am new to the forms but have had my jeep for about 7 years now. I bought the jeep at 96k miles and noticed that the clutch was disengaging very late in the pedal throw (bottom 25%). At 120k miles I replaced the clutch with a Luk 05-065 clutch kit and saw little improvement. Now at 145k...

Does any have the part number for the flywheel on a 2001 TJ 4.0. My NV3550 is starting to act up along with the clutch. I took it to a shop and they want to install the Rockland Terminator transmission and new OEM clutch and flywheel. They want $1600 for clutch and flywheel alone and told me...

I have a 2001 TJ 4.0 with an NV3550. I had some normal nv grinding from 1-2 and then got worse on downshifting. Just recently it started to come out of third when decelerating so I took it to a shop and long story short I need a transmission and a clutch no surprise which they quoted me 4900...

Hello all, I’m reaching the iconic 200k in my 02 Sahara so I believe the my transmission is starting to go as it’s starting to stick, wines, and at times engages gears prematurely. I typically look for upgrades whenever I need to replace a part so my question is what would you guys recommend...

I just purchased an 06 6-speed TJ and had the clutch pedal go limp on my way home. Was able to Jimmy rig it to get home and found that it just needed a $4 bushing to reattach the pedal. Was on my way to work a couple weeks later and had it happen again. This time it didn’t break the bushing...

2001 TJ Sport 4.0 with A/C. Let me provide some background info: After running my Jeep with an electrical fan for the last 7 years, I will be installing a mechanical fan. Long story short, after doing some electrical diagnostics, it would be more trouble than it's worth to continue using the...

Hey guys! Needing some of yall's awesome expertise! So here's what happened. Im out wheeling by where I live, nothing crazy but I go into 4WD Low from 4WD High to get up a hill/mound and after I get over it maybe, 10-20 feet later the 4WD light on my dash goes out. When I notice this I come to a...

Replacing clutch in my 05 LJ 6 speed. Finally got to undoing all the bolts on the bell housing and it won't come apart. I peek around the cover to see if I can pull them apart and I notice this random sleeve/tube sticking through one of the bolt holes. I have triple-checked and all bolts have...

I’ve not been able to find a discussion about this yet so if there is one, my apologies. I have a 03 Wrangler 4.0 and recently I’ve noticed that when engine breaking, primarily in 2nd gear, and slightly in 3rd gear, a metal rattling noise can be heard until the jeeps rpms catch up to speed. It...

Hello All, I've got a 2003 Wrangler. 4.0 5spd. I just recently had the throw-out bearing go. Had a shop replace it along with a new clutch. I asked them to install a new pilot bearing and input shaft bearing as well, but a new noise I am getting now makes me think they did not replace them, or...
