I'm not an expert, so I'm curious as wellWhat is so great about the Centerforce clutch? Is it worth the upgrade for a guy with a stock 2-door Rubicon who is probably going no-bigger than 35” tires?
I'm willing to bet that ALL manual transmission JLs and JTs will get a new clutch. I wouldn't think it possible to tell a defective clutch from a good one just by looking at it.Is it 1% of all Jeeps sold? I was told by regional rep that all manual will be repaired. Maybe he is wrong.
There’s only 33k left. The other 50,000 have fragged the pressure plate & burned to the dirt.A bit surprised only 33k JLs were made w/ MTs.
um... yes.Hmmm. Are you sure?
It looks like 100% of manuals are getting recalled, but that might involve a test for the faulty part(s), once they figure out the cause. I'm sure FCA is "estimating" 99% of the manuals are totally fine, because, science.Is it 1% of all Jeeps sold? I was told by regional rep that all manual will be repaired. Maybe he is wrong.
I wish that was the case....but highly doubt FCA will reimburse for a non OEM solution for a clutch assembly. You'd also lose warranty coverage on it.I'll just request the cash instead for parts & labor and buy the Centerforce I'm sure FCA will oblige haha
Yes its safe until it starts shooting flames from the transmissionI just want a simple YES or NO from @JeepCares
Are our cars safe to drive until the fix? No big explanation subverting the question.
Yes or No. Simple.
lol of course they won't... but it's fun to dream That heavier flywheel in that centerforce combo sounds great.I wish that was the case....but highly doubt FCA will reimburse for a non OEM solution for a clutch assembly. You'd also lose warranty coverage on it.
I can't answer for everyone. For me, I've got a lot of heavy armor, a winch, a heavy bumper and I'm looking to move up to 37/38" tires. The current clutch has worked okay for me, as I'm geared at 5.13 and have 315s (34"). The CF clutch has a heavier flywheel that will keep the engine running at higher strain levels, and it is purported to have better feel that appeals to me.What is so great about the Centerforce clutch?
