I have hand calculated mine many times for my '22 Gladiator. They have always been surprisingly equal. Any previous vehicle I have owned, that was not the case.
Never really been a fan, nor understood the Jeep duck thing. To each their own. When I explained (with my limited understanding) to my wife what it was about, she wanted a duck. A few days ago, while out shopping, my wife was looking for a duck for our Jeep. I jokingly said if she got one she...
Thanks to those who replied. much as I expected, no one will do a swap to a 4.10 ratio from 3.73.
What I should have also asked was anyone's experience with a Gladiator that came with 4.10 axles (Rubicon?)
Fist of all, I appreciate all of the knowledge shared on this forum.
I do not wish to start another gear ratio change thread as I know there are many already. I have read them and cannot find what I am searching for.
My Gladiator: 2022 Altitude (not a High Altitude). 3.6 Pentastar, 6spd...
My 2022 was just completed. The vehicle only had 4000 miles on it, so the comparison is not between a worn clutch and a new one. It is better, but by no means optional. The ECM reflash appears to have addressed throttle response complaints as well. I find it much more consistent now. I am not...
Update: Piked up my Gladiator this afternoon. All back to normal, meaning it is still a pos clutch, but works as best it can. Dealership had lots of grief bleeding the system. This is probably why the instructions for the 19A clutch recall say specifically to not open any of the hydraulic...
I didn't have to. The owner of the dealership did. Slave showed up by courier (not on the regular parts shipment) from FCA Tuesday afternoon. Now they are struggling with getting the system bled properly.
I offered to source one from a US dealer, but for some reason, FCA Canada would not allow that being as it is a warranty billing. After they pay for a rental for a week or two, they might rethink that, lol. Then I think I will request that the duration of my warranty be extended as I am losing...
My 2022 Gladiator Altitude (24 02 25 service date) is back at the dealer with apparent clutch hydraulics failure. Seemed to me at the time, the master cylinder failed, however they chose to replace both the master and slave cylinders. Thorough approach EXCEPT that the slave cylinder is on...
Thanks for the information, saves me taking mine apart for a look. Could you clarify if the Delay Valve is installed in the hydraulic line (as it is in a Dodge Challenger) or in the slave cylinder body itself?
Being the original owner of a Challenger SRT CORE, I will disagree with you on the...
Nope, FCA will not install an owner supplied clutch as part of the recall. I tried, the owner of the dealership is a friend of mine and he could not make it happen.
My 2022 Gladiator just had the 19A recall completed. As posted previously, I will provide my driving observations. First, note that my Gladiator is a 2022, however it was sold new last March, so did not have 3 years of wear on the clutch and associated parts. It had 4000kms showing when it went...
Does anyone know if the stock factory clutch slave cylinder, or the hydraulic line, have what is known as the "Clutch Delay Valve" in place? This is installed in all manual trans. Dodge Challengers and contributes to vague, inconsistent clutch feel. I have searched and cannot find any reference...
My 2022 Sport Altitude is going in next week for the 19A recall. It only has 4000 km on it and I have hated this clutch feel from day one. I too was reluctant to have this completed based on so many negative comments post recall. Since mine is essentially new, I will be able to determine if...
My 2022 is going in next week for the recall. After much research, I am not satisfied with their approach to the issue, but am left with no other choice without incurring large out of pocket expenses and an incomplete recall showing against my vin if I do not get it completed. A couple of...
It is a well know issue in Challenger circles. I will take a look at mine when I get caught up. There are a couple of other projects ahead of that on the lift.
Searched the forum and cannot find a reference to this question. Does anyone know if the Gladiator clutch system has a restriction orifice between the clutch master and slave cylinders? For those unfamiliar with what I am referring to, I own a 2014 Dodge Challenger 6spd MT. Many issues with...

The manual transmission clutch pressure plate on your vehicle may, in some circumstances, become overheated through friction, which may lead the pressure plate to rapidly fracture. When a pressure plate fractures, it may result in cracks...
