ive added power (k&n fipk, and performance distributer) and weight (tires, bull bar) to my jeep which created a major weak spot, the clutch.
1st to second is a little jerky and indecisive also my rpm to velocity ratio isnt what it used to be, even as just after the fipk install.


i'm thinking a new clutch, Rusty offers a dual friction clutch but not throwout bearings. does it sound like i need anything else or will just a clutch do?

I would never replace just the clutch. Throw in the friction plate & throw-out bearing. The previous Mods had nothing to do with the clutch going bad.

New gears would help.

your talking about your zj with a auto right? that dual friction clutch is for a manual transmission. rustys does sell replacement clutches for autos tho. wait no they dont.

So what exactly are we talking about, then? 1996 ZJ's didn't come with manual transmissions.
yeah but that doesnt mean that they dont have clutches... i just am not in control of said clutch

Rusty's clutches are for manual tranny's.

When you rebuild an auto you can use Kevlar clutches which are a nice upgrade.

You can't just replace the clutch packs in an auto.

None of those mods would have caused the problems your having

Suhweet!

I guess this is how it's supposed to work. I searched for "shifting issues" and came across this thread. The adjustment took all of two minutes. Just test drove her and she shifts beautifully now! :banana:

I was thinking I had major transmission issues. (Now if I could figure out that whacked rattling noise coming from the area of my tranny!)
