Is it the clutch itself, or another part?

Upgrayedd to a CenterforceJust got my recall notice today. Says that will replace parts "if needed". So I guess if it hasn't failed by 6000 miles it won't?

Are you going to continue to drive it while waiting for the recall fix?I'm very happy about the recall....Read several threads on here of people having to spend $2600 to replace their clutch with less than 30k miles and was dreading it. With the recall, I got 27k miles out of the stock clutch and now get a better clutch for free! This also greatly reduces the chance our jeeps catch on fire.
I should quickly get the centerforce clutch and submit it befor the fix is in. Heard good things about that clutch on the JK.
Yeah, I am still driving mine. Unsurprisingly, FCA is now saying they will look at manual transmission JL's and replace parts as needed. AKA, FCA doesnt want to absorb the cost of replacing alot of clutches.Are you going to continue to drive it while waiting for the recall fix?
I remember a few months back telling my husband that i thought I smelled something burning. Could be a coincidence of course but now I'm scared Sh**.I drive mine daily, and have 30k on the clutch. Mine has never slipped, smelled or smoked. I’ll keep driving mine and have it looked at when they have parts. I guess I need remove the armor beforehand though....
I wonder how they are going to determine who needs the new clutch plate and who doesn't? So if you go in for the recall and they say you don't need it and then there's a fire? Why would they even risk that?Yeah, I am still driving mine. Unsurprisingly, FCA is now saying they will look at manual transmission JL's and replace parts as needed.

It seems rare and don't think anyone has been hurt.I wonder how they are going to determine who needs the new clutch plate and who doesn't? So if you go in for the recall and they say you don't need it and then there's a fire? Why would they even risk that?
Is it true these things are exploding-like kaboom?
Same here - 57k on mine. No problems thus far, will keep driving until they come up with updated parts.I drive mine daily, and have 30k on the clutch. Mine has never slipped, smelled or smoked.
