I had the Mopar lift put on before I took delivery because it was then included in my factory warranty. The ride and handling is sooo much better with the lift. Mine is a 2020 JTR and have had zero issues in 5 years. Would happily buy again if I wanted to stay at 2.5”. I have a leveling kit and...
I heard Jeep was getting them from Centerforce as replacements for their OEM...not confirmed, nor how paid for. This was from a Centerforce engineer...
It takes me out of the recall mess - frankly I don't think Jeep is going to materially change the clutch - so making the change to have something that works for me was important to get to a stable clutch system. The last recall fix was a software detune if the clutch got hot. Not interested in...
True - all are factors. My JTR is regeared to 4.88 on 35" tires - that overgears me a bit which should help as well.
To be clear - I have no intention of really towing anything at capacity since my boat/trailer weighs closer to the Max Tow capacity. As such it looks like flat land or...
I bought the clutch at Quadratec (link below) - currently it is about $1600. Install was about $1100. Make sure you use a shop that either has real experience installing these in JL/JTs or is willing to follow the install instructions and addendums to the T. If not you will get unhappy...
Thanks all for your comments. I hadn't thought about the torque multiplier effect of the torque converter, nor had I thought about legal/insurance risk if there was an accident. Begrudgingly I agree that I am just looking at more usable capacity (vs 80%) with a clutch that won't slip/overheat...
Hi all - I was told by the dealer and on several forums that the limiting factor on the JTR towing capacity with a manual was the clutch (not hard to believe). I have upgraded to the Centerforce Dual Friction clutch with new flywheel and hydraulics (LOVE IT!) - I would like to confirm that this...
Jumping on this old thread…I have the CF DF clutch in my JT. It has been installed since last October (22).
My JT is acting similar to the original poster - very hard to get into and out of Reverse or 1st gear. Often times I find myself having to force it out of gear as it will not disengage...
For what it is worth, I had the Centerforce DF clutch installed in my JTR 2 months ago. It is hands down the best investment I have made. I real game changer for the transmission and frankly should have been this way from the factory. Offroading it is amazing now - no hunting for gears - just...
