Let me know if you have questions about the CF set up. I was an early adopter of the CF Dual Friction clutch. It’s a game changer if you tow, rock crawl, haul, etc. so much beefier than stock. The only minor drawback is increased pedal effort - I don’t even notice anymore … the non dual...
I did the dual friction kit - KDF157077. It’s tough!!! Good luck!

I did the Dual Friction - mainly because I tow. It requires more pedal effort but I got used to it in a couple days and don’t even notice now. It’s an entirely different beast now. Highly recommend the upgrade.
my gut tells me the issues are a convergence of poorly suited design, poor design/build quality and poor driving. I’ve driven stick shift as a daily driver since 1992 and have never replaced a clutch due to wear. I didn’t really have “problems” with the stock clutch other than it didn’t perform...
I love 5.13 gearing. I never feel over geared. In the Mountains of Montana, Wyoming and Idaho, loaded with gear and people I felt like 5.38 gears ⚙️ would have helped climb the mountains. Good luck ! ?
My issue with Dual Mass system and light flywheel is the added complexity and relative lack of durability trade offs with minimal benefits in shifting, NVH, and probably minor gas mileage IN A SOLID AXLE OFFROAD VEHICLE. Just doesn’t align well with the do anything, go anywhere marketing and...
I think dual mass design can shift a bit easier even even when not completely disengaged. That said this has affected a small sample size
I suspect Jeep bean counters just want to kill the manual transmission and make it go away. My guess is that they starved the engineering team of resources...
My understanding of the issues is that the clutch is not completely disengaging and building up enormous heat and failing. Besides a simpler single clutch design and a heavier flywheel, the Centerforce hydraulics have a longer rod on the release cylinder and additional insulation and braided...
Ha. Driving without doors is also illegal.,,,, I’ve been driving without doors since 1995 and no issues but it is technically a law on the books …. It’s also illegal to sing in a bathtub, sell a car on Sunday, 16 women cannot live in a house together, you are prohibited from being governor if...
