Hi Everyone,
Is it normal for a Jeep JL to have a vibration or grinding type feeling in the clutch?
I order my dream rubicon. Took it for a test drive and the vibration was so bad my leg was going numb. It was ridiculously uncomfortable. My 98 never once had this problem.
I told the dealer how terrible feeling the clutch was. They agreed it would be best to inspect it during the upcoming week. 30 minutes later they called me and told me it was” normal” and that I should come back and test drive it again. Knowing this was going to be a waste of my time, I went anyways, but I asked that they test drive it with me in it. I watched the Jeep manager’s leg shaking as he told me it was “normal”.
I left that day and said fix it or I am not buying it. They had multiple techs look at it and I was told nothing was wrong. I went back again to test drive it and it was miraculously better. Only a little vibration when you engage and disengage the clutch. Hard telling if they made an adjustment and for some reason don’t want to tell me or if the clutch just needed to be driven a bit.
Long story, but is this normal in today’s Wranglers? Should I buy it or run?
Thanks a million.
