madog7200 Posted November 5, 2016 Posted November 5, 2016 I'll be replacing the clutch in the truck here in the next week or so and was wondering if you guys had any pros or cons about certain kits? I'm thinking about using the cheaper of the two offered from o reilly but I'm not 100 percent sold yet. My truck is a daily driver 5 speed that no off roading with a 40 mile one way commute thanks in advance guys! Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
87MJTIM Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 What yr and trans? Luk kits have been good to me.
madog7200 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Posted November 6, 2016 I have a 91 and idk what Trans it is, ive never really checked... what's an easy way to tell Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
87MJTIM Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Unless a PO changed trans, you would have an AX15 (assuming a 4.0). That's a good trans. :thumbsup: Check Rockauto.com for part no. and prices.
madog7200 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Posted November 6, 2016 1J7FJ26S3ML571978 is my VIN if that helps Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
87MJTIM Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 You have a base model (6th digit), 4wd (5th digit), 4.0 (8th digit). It came with an AX15, with an internal slave cylinder.
madog7200 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Posted November 6, 2016 Yeah i found out today that the slave was internal when I was down there looking around at the clutch pedal... thats exciting to know about the AX15!! Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
johnj92131 Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 You might want to check Amazon for the LuK clutch kit as well as Rock Auto. I find by the time you add freight at Rock Auto, it is sometimes just easier to buy from Amazon. Especially if you have an Amazon Prime membership. Another thing to look for at Amazon is their "used" or open box items. With auto parts, these are just simply returned items that are in damaged packages for a really great marked down price.
willi2ds Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Not sure if it was an oddball incident or not, but I just bought a LUK kit from Rockauto and while trying to bleed the system, all of the sudden it started spewing. Bad slave cylinder that came with the kit. Might've just been a fluke though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
FrankTheDog Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Luk rep set or Luk gold. Make sure it's for a 91, not a later year. It should come with the pilot bearing and internal slave cylinder along with a clutch disc pilot tool to line up the clutch disc with the input shaft. The Luk Gold clutch in my 1998 XJ has lasted 230,000 miles. That includes heavy towing and offroading.
