hogelectra Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Getting through my projects one at a time. Just finish fabricating a transfer and transmission skid plates. After I resolve removing the rust from under the carpeting. My next project will be replacing the clutch. 1. Need advice on best clutch (stay with OE) or some more (remember I have the 2.5) 2. Any good place where I can find some good instructions on how to replace the clutch Thanks - This site helps a lot - I appreciate everyone help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtdesigns Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I heard LUK was a good clutch. Thats what I'll be going with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Do you have a manual for the MJ yet? Even the Haynes manual has a good write-up for the clutch. Oh, 1 piece of advice, from the "did that , wished I hadn't" class- remember to put the flat side of the new clutch plate towards the flywheel, other wise you will be doing the clutch again fairly soon.... :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 There is a downloadable FSM posted on the site here... http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/view ... =9&t=12517 There are good aftermarket clutches out there, but if the slave cylinder is internal you should really stay with OE on that part.

You post that so much i would put it in your sig block and use one of those link shrinkers and rename it MJ FSM!!! Maybe we all should!! i think i see that link at least twice a day in posts. It is very nice to have. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 couple tips FWIW.... DON'T use an air impact to tighten the clutch cover bolts....use a torque wrench in steps with a cross-pattern DO use locktite on the clutch cover bolts DO replace the slave while you're in there, if it's internal. Not a bad idea to replace the RMS and check the welch plug in the back of the block and replace (but you'll need to pull the flywheel to do this) DO replace the flywheel and the pilot bearing if they are anything less than 100% Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
