I'm sure it's been discussed. But I'm running into some conflicting info. Its an 06' LJ. The flywheel P/N I have in my notes is LUK LFW193. But Summit says it doesn't fit, and there's one comment where a guy says it's for the 2.5. My parts list shows P/N 53010630AB but when I search that it only pulls up Mopar and Crown. The Mopar can be had on Quadratec for a cool $400. Nope and Nope. Anyone have the P/N for a LUK Flywheel for my rig?
 
Looks like I can get a Crown. Not sure how much I trust Crown for a flywheel...
 
LUK 484 should be the one you need. At least that's what Rockauto shows. Wish they would show images of the machined side then you could make sure it has the increased number of timing tabs.

Edit: Rockauto also shows the Mopar number you mentioned and has a good picture.

I’ll check it out. Thanks for the response!
 
LFW484 as mentioned above but they’ve been out of stock a while, like over 6-7 months, probably more but that’s as long as I’ve been paying attention to them. Could do something like the high inertia flywheel from center force but that’s expensive like the Mopar. It does get good reviews though and improves boggy low idle situations if you don’t give it enough gas. AMS on Rockauto might be ok, never used anything from them to confirm.
 
Few years ago when I was looking at LUK clutch components for nsg370 on my 06, I came to two conclusions.
1. Original is cone shaped, aftermarket is not.
2. Teeth on ringgear that goes around aftermarket flywheel will not match with pinion on starter.

That is what I pulled out of my memory, so double check this info. I don't remember details, but I ended up not changing flywheel because of something with above mentioned didn't add up.

Don't buy a replacement flywheel unless your present flywheel is physically damaged and unusable. Replacing the TJ's flywheel is not a normal part of replacing the clutch.

Factory is very slightly dome shape and all of the aftermarkets I’ve seen are too. Don’t know what aftermarket flywheel you saw that didn’t have the right tooth count but was probably for the wrong application. Anything listed for an 06 is a direct fit.

OP listed LUK LFW193 as a replacement, it used to be listed on amazon as a fit for 6 speed and people on this forum were also saying that it was. I dont wanna talk shit, it has been 3 or 4 years, but i think that is what it was.
I see that you guys have corrected him with LFW484
