Fire result of transmission failure

[Dkretden]

I have a raider rack and will mount mine there with a “quick fist.” https://www.raiderrack.com/

(The extinguisher will also fit in the mesh pouch on the door for a quick, free option.)

Cool system!

if you want to preserve space on the rack for other items, the space adjacent to the front seats (as shown above) is almost tailor made for the element.

Do you just lay it in there or did you mount it somehow? Do they fit into Mag Lite plastic mounts?

I just ordered mine. I've been kicking this around for over a year, so it feels good to finally bite the bullet and get one.

Each extinguisher comes with a clip ... I just attached a small piece of 3M command strip to it and fastened it to the plastic floor trim (picture on prior page) .... no movement at all and easy to pull off

Great! Thanks! Just got the shipped notice.

I just read this whole thread. In light of the new recall, does that mean the OP @duramaxjack3d is entitled to reimbursement for his mods and possibly the balance of his loan?

Sorry for being dense, but does that mean they won't even start fixing them until April 22?

I used a short picture wire to secure the clip that comes with the Element to the seat rail. I like the double stick tape approach too. May try that.

Nope. I like free and I've been 100% happy with my clutch so far. However, if FCA paid for it and I saw truly excellent reviews, I'd consider it. I just personally don't feel this clutch leaves me wanting for anything in any area of its operation. I wouldn't want to change it, at this point. I'd consider one for my JK, though, if I needed to replace it.

The my Mopar recall page has a link to submit reimbursement if you have already fixed the issue. I used this with the steering stabilizer as I had already put a Falcon on. I'm going to call and see what they say about this, as I don't like leaving this recall unattended to.

That's the way I'm reading it......

Please post. I'd much rather dedicate funds towards a Centerforce

I tried that with my Fox stabilizer and they refused. I can eat $140. Not the price of a clutch and installation.

That's strange, I got reimbursement for my Falcon stabilizer no questions asked and it was more than $140.

That being said, I spoke to Jeep Wave and the girl told me they will usually put the reimbursement request on hold until a solution is available, at which time they will evaluate it. So, sounds to me like they want to see the cost of their solution and won't pay more than that. I can understand this, but in this case the result of failure is quite bad and they have no solution yet.

I was planning on a Centerforce stage II down the road, so I figured I would look into doing it now. I can't find mention of the Centerforce KDF157077 anywhere on their web site now. Some retailers still have it, but it looks like Centerforce has scrubbed it from their website. I wonder what's going on here?

I am considering the same route, mostly for the heavier flywheel and improved crawling, but some of the JK 3.6 reviews have given me pause.
