Re: Clutch?
Hi Jennifer,
The dampener springs are on a radius separating the center disk from traction pad: http://www.----------.com/clutch/ The racing type centrifugal pressure plates with the fingers are the ones that two men an a small boy to disengage. A Corvette "street" twin disk: http://tradezone.com/vette/mcleod.html Which probably releases with a bang, that'll feel like some hit you in the back with a sledge hammer.

Re: Clutch?
Bill,
When I was younger I had the dampener springs fall out of the clutch on my Valiant, so I welded the center together. I drove it like that for a long time too. I agree, "remanufactured or new stock disk and pressure plate" for this application, especially if the first set lasted 8-9 years. Remember that there are exactly two clutch pedal positions, up and down. Earle "L.W.

Re: Clutch?
Will you guys forgive me for another lecture? Given that you stated that it is slipping, there is only ONE way to repair it correctly. You will need to replace the Clutch Disc, Clutch Cover (pressure plate), Carrier Bearing Assembly (throw out bearing) and the most often neglected part, the FLYWHEEL itself. You can "cheap out" and get the flywheel resurfaced, it may work for a while. However, the days of big heavy hunks of steel for flywheels are over. The "fuel efficient" gurus have mandated light weight, and that precludes durability. Another thing to watch for is the beloved "Made in China" label. Most folks don't know, but ZOOM performance clutches are made in China! If you plan on keeping the Jeep for a long time, the only true fix is spend what it takes to purchase ALL of the above listed parts from Jeep and be finished for good. I have seen too many "re-dos" caused by partial fixes. Good Luck, Bruce |
