Clutch Replacement and now the gear shift is sticking...

[mbbq22]

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 wanted gear, I'll need to shift into a different one and then try again. My gut tells me that it may be a n issue with how the clutch was bled. Nevertheless, it seems time to bring it to another shop to see if I can get the situation rectified. Just wondering if anyone has run into similar issues.

I did the centerforce swap at 9k miles on our 22, put about a year on it 15k miles and it started not wanting to fully disengage. I updated the hydraulics from them and it seemed to help, but last year at Easter Jeep safari it started hanging up again. I contacted centerforce and they were super cool, there is a updated throwout bearing that goes internal instead of exterior. I dropped the trans again and updated it, sooooo much bettter. The release and overall feel is excellent. Id look into that route personally. We have 44k on the setup now and its fantastic.

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.

I’m having a similar problem. Prob Air in system or faulty slave cylinder. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/manual-transmission-club.17084/post-1439995

If these things don’t work it could be internals and require a tear down to diagnose. Good luck.
