Agree with others. While the clutch is not perfect, I will play it by ear and see if any issues are realized during ownership
Just so you know, the clutch is only warrantied for 12k miles- so if you are having issues, slipping, etc, better get them documented at the dealer. It is separate of the overall drivetrain warranty.

Good to know, thanks for sharing.

Yes, which is a good thing. There is a recent thread on here from a guy who triggered it while wheeling in 4H. It did what it was supposed to do, and once he let it cool down everything was back to normal. (I’m too lazy to find it for you.)

Should this be necessary to prevent the pressure plate from fracturing? Of course not. We all agree it’s a workaround to a design flaw. That said, I’d much rather have to stop and cool down than explode!
Ok. But I also saw a recent thread where someone had their clutch explode, after doing the recall, and Jeep hung them out to dry. So while it's a workaround, it's not 100%.

Edit- here is his thread

Does anybody have an aftermarket South Bend clutch installed on their JL?

If yes I would be interested in hearing which model along with thoughts?
