Only seen one fail. Replaced at 7k miles in a mojave after he got stuck in the mud, then pulled someone out while in reverse. Destroyed the clutch, unavoidable with any clutch, got jeep to cover it though.
You don't pull people out in reverse in an auto, either. Bad thing to do. Lucky he didn't ruin more than the clutch.
you might be onto something. The 6MT clutch is hilariously undersized. It works great in the 2 door JLs but that may be why, hella lighter and they don't tow/haul anything. I've seen a lot guys go aftermarket clutch well before hitting 10k odo.
Holy crap I didn't know others were having the same problem. My MT Rubicon overheated the other day while I was backing up my trailer. It's the second clutch since I got the first one swapped during the recall last year. Not sure what to do. Suggestions would be appreciated.
I agree. Running 37x12.50 tires and 5.13 gears and a Centerforce clutch which is way more grabby and less prone to stalling with a heavy flywheel but the reverse gear is still too tall/too fast. I use low range (Rubi 4:1) to back my trailer and it can be annoyingly slow and there will be some binding/hop but zero clutch manipulation and often very little gas required. It just goes.
This is exactly what I want! Awesome! So do you have a specific link because there's a lot of options!
Is that a brand or just a spec when looking at clutches?
Oooohhhh okay cool. Hey so how's the on road performance after changing to low range?
They are saying to get in position, shift to 4 wheel drive low, then reverse your trailer. Put in back to 2wd as soon as you are done.
Haha damnit I feel stupid as hell. Thanks. I will do this.
There's a lot of slang and acronyms, these things happen.
