  1. Stop sale on manual transmission Gladiators (clutch assembly may overheat, causing a fire)

    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...
  2. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    I did the dual friction kit - KDF157077. It’s tough!!! Good luck! https://www.centerforce.com/i-30500491-dual-friction-clutch-and-flywheel-kit.html#!year%3D2020%7C%7Cmake%3DJEEP%7C%7Cmodel%3DGLADIATOR%7C%7Csubmodel%3D3.6L%20-%206-SPD

    I’m not even Messing with Jeep. I went Centerforce and I’m happy with it.

    No time to do anything. I have some new lights and switch silently mocking me m. Gotta find some time….
  6. Stop sale on manual transmission Gladiators (clutch assembly may overheat, causing a fire)

    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.
  7. Stop sale on manual transmission Gladiators (clutch assembly may overheat, causing a fire)

    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...
  8. time to think about re gearing

    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 ! ?
  9. time to think about re gearing

    4.88 or 5.13 are both solid choices

    Here is what I got from ChatGPT Round and towering, Thirty-seven-inch tires spin, Proper gears engage.
  11. Softopper coming

    I ended up going with the @Bestop Supertop in twill to match my factory soft top. Works great.
  12. Stop sale on manual transmission Gladiators (clutch assembly may overheat, causing a fire)

    The JT manual with Centerforce clutch and hydraulics and proper gearing is awesome!
  13. Stop sale on manual transmission Gladiators (clutch assembly may overheat, causing a fire)

    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...
  14. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Congrats! You’re gonna love it. It’s a beast offroad in the rocks and I can tow and back a trailer up with no slipping or stalls.
  15. Stop sale on manual transmission Gladiators (clutch assembly may overheat, causing a fire)

    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...
  16. Stop sale on manual transmission Gladiators (clutch assembly may overheat, causing a fire)

    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...
