Manual Transmission - Issues shifting into 1st & Reverse (Compilation thread)

[OldGuyNewJeep]

ACT,

Will also mention that this is 2nd kit i got from them, because someone earlier claims to have trouble free experience with "revised" version.

By the time my ACT hit 10,000 miles I was in your exact boat. Basically, it became undrivable.

My CFII with internal slave/throwout just crossed 10,000 miles and is eons better than my ACT was. I very rarely get a little resistance to 1st at a red light, and easily overcome it.

My CFII has never gotten stuck in gear like my ACT would.

Also, my ACT would behave for a short time after pressure bleeding.

All of this is to say I think @Toycrusher has identified the issue common across all available JL clutches, BUT I firmly believe ACT has an additional issue of stock hydraulics not being up to task.

We shall see what another 10,000 miles looks like, but as of now I have no regrets on swapping to the CFII.
