Well, it's a theory at this point. But something that supports it is the fact that this event happened while she was cruising along down the highway. So, IF we believe the hydraulic line or slave is overheating to the point the fluid boils and expands to exert force on the pressure plate and letting it slip, the fact that this event happened to the young lady while just cruising along, supports the concept that heat from the exhaust manifold radiation could have the cumulative effect needed to cause the boiling of the fluid. But it's just a theory at this point. Like I said, if I had a manual trans JL, I'd put some kind of temperature monitoring on the line and slave.So what I take away is that if our hydraulic system is intact, has been moved away from heat sources, and bled properly, then the clutch itself should be fine... IDK I already got the a ok for a new clutch so might just do it to feel safe and sound. The CF II looks like it can handle almost 200 ft/lbs more than our 3.6 puts out so overkill but so be stout and last the life of the Jeep I'll assume...
