Just to provide an update here. Went to Jeep and had them replace the clutch with a full factory set up and it was done under the clutch recall. Jeep is back to shifting normally. Easy. to get in and out of gear and not needing to force it. Much much softer clutch pedal now so I'll need to get...
Infotainment UConnect 5
Curious if anyone has upgraded to this unit? Steeper price point but I love that its a true plug and play unit, retaining even the factory mic. Curious about anyone's experience.
I'm making the jump and my JTR goes to the dealer on Monday to get the CF clutch pulled out and a stock clutch system put back in. My shifting has gotten increasingly worse over the last few weeks as I'm finding it harder to get the truck in gear especially from a stop. I often have to row...
This is interesting... I know this is an issue that many who have gone aftermarket with their clutch have experienced. @Gator Overland do you think the plastic master cylinder could be the issue? Honestly, I don't know enough. All i do know is that I haven't heard feedback of any aftermarket...
On the surface it sounds nuts, but over a year ago, I replaced my clutch with a centerforce and ever since have had issues with difficult shifts, feeling like the clutch is not always disengaging properly, etc. I know some others that have gone aftermarket are experiencing the same. Has anyone...
This is def helpful! Thanks for that insight. Sounds very similar to what I'm dealing with. I already had their updated hydraulics but I'll look into the throwout bearing.
Hey Guys, about a year ago, a local offroad shop here in Charlotte replaced my stock clutch with a CenterForce... It was a little sticky in the beginning but over the past year has become increasingly so. It is sometimes hard to shift into reverse or 3rd or 5th and often before I shift into the...
I had my clutch replaced a little over a month ago by a shop down here in Charlotte. Currently running 4.10's with 37s. Just got back from a long roadtrip to see family for the holiday, about 9 hours each way. I can say that on East Coast highways up to NY, I could easily cruise around 80mph in...
Let me know how you like the 5.13s once you get them in. I'm on the fence about what I want to do. My rig is pretty lightweight comparatively. I have BFG 37s, regularly cruise on the highway at 80mph and I do like the idea of having some better acceleration from a standstill. Always curious to...
Was ready to finally upgrade the the clutch in my JTR and a local shop said they would only install CenterForce so thats what I went with. I'm about 1000 miles on the new clutch so far. Engagement is definitely a ton better removing some of the vagueness that the stock clutch had. Its a bit...
Just had a new CenterForce clutch installed last week and now about 400 miles into my break in. Unfortunately the master cylinder that came with the kit was defective so although my Jeep is driveable, I'll need to go back in to get the new master cylinder installed. I can definitely feel it too...
I'd be interested in this also since I just moved to the Charlotte area. Currently researching clutch replacement costs but regear coming soon when I bump up to 37s.
Hey Everyone, wondering if anyone else has experienced this. About 6 months ago I upgraded the entire steering set up on my Rubicon. Yeti track bar, MetalCloak drag link, tie rod & steering stabilizer along with MetalCloak sway bar end links... Ever since I've noticed a rattle or clanking...
Thats great to know, thank you! I have a lift from Eibach and full steering kit from MetalCloak already in. My next projects are a new clutch and then a re-gear. Can't wait to get down there and explore a bit.
Hey Everyone! Relocating to the Lake Norman area July 1st and looking for recommendations on a good shop in the area to get some work done... Was just down in Huntersville-Mooresville area this past weekend to do some house-hunting and saw quite a few great looking Gladiators! Can't wait to get...
Hey Everyone, after 5 years in DE, I'll be heading back south to the Charlotte/Lake Norman area. In preparation for the move, I wanted to make sure I could line up a shop for when I have bigger projects I want to get done, i.e. clutch replacement, etc. Is anyone from this area and can recommend...
