I think I saw you said that somewhere at some point. Or I dreamed it, I think about these damn clutches enough anything is possible. I’ve said before , I’ve never experienced any lockout. Just trying to be proactive and not get stranded on long road trips. I just don’t think I’m so lucky to not have the issues others are experiencing. So far just noise and crunchy pedal feel when warmed up . And real slight forward reverse creep when cold only.
I thought I wasn't going to have issues either. I was at 15k miles since install, then I started noticing some croaking when I pushed my clutch in, then it started locking me out of first after a long day of wheeling 12 hours from home. I had talked to @SadRobot enough to know what came next. Traded it in shortly after I got home. I do miss it, but I don't miss worrying about when or if it was going to take a shit and leave me stranded.
Haha, I might be reaching out to some of you in or on the way to California from eastern Ohio in July if I have problems and need food recommendations for a while.
What is the question? I recently replaced my ACT with the Centerforce II + hydraulic throw-out. The CF bearing has some plastic components visible; it's not fully metal.
I was just being a smart ass towards someone that probably ignores me now . But that’s good info. As I’ve said before I don’t get any lock out or lock in. Just waiting for the day at this point.
Funny how I can remember stupid shit like this from 50 years ago and not remember where I put my glasses 10 minutes ago.
So I made an appointment on the 29th. That service advisor quit before ordering the new clutch. 2 more weeks until it comes in. They went ahead and installed the software. I guess looking at the bright side, this gives me a chance to reprogram the gears before they complete the recall... Let's hope it doesn't leave me stranded somewhere unable to shift between now and thenWell overnight my Jeep just went from annoying to drive to afraid to drive. A lot of the tricks like when stopped, shift to second before first quit working today, and I wasn't sure I could even drive it home. R, 1, 2, 3 all locked out at multiple stoplights and often locked out while moving. So, I've scheduled to have the recall done
The shop said they replace clutches (in general across all brands and models) every 1-2 weeks, and they are fine that I've regeared and have an aftermarket clutch already installed. I figured it can't get much worse than it already is.
. It's warmed up a little, so I was able to drive it to the dealership without any major issues.
After they install the new clutch you'll likely still need to complete the "Clutch Replacement EEPPROM Reset Procedure". It's simple, just takes a few minutes. Good luck.So I made an appointment on the 29th. That service advisor quit before ordering the new clutch. 2 more weeks until it comes in. They went ahead and installed the software.

I get that a bit even with the factory stock clutch and no recall update. My Tacoma had it too, IIRC. I suspect it's a separate issue of slight wear on the first gear synchronizers.
