problem #2

Sep 252002

Wrangler SE 2.5L

  • Manual transmission
  • 70,000 miles

Just over 70k and the clutch went out. It smelled terrible. Smoke was coming from the bell housing. At first I thought the trans went. Took it to a trans shop and they said I needed a new clutch. Only $675. I said thank you and towed it home. I replaced the clutch with a High Performance CenterForce Stage 2 Clutch with lifetime warranty. That only cost me $250. It took me 2 days to put it in, but save me a bunch.
