Title: Tj clutch
Post by: donk498 on July 11, 2016, 11:49:48 AM

Best place to source a clutch kit for a 99 tj 4ltr? Also a Dana 30 rebuild kit. Lighthouse?

Expensive 2hours at Walter arena  :banghead:

eBay? Of course make sure it is a decent make.

ADL one:

Has the clutch failed or worn out? You can get the plate relined.

Also worth changing rear main seal whilst in there.

What has failed on the front axle? I got away with replacing one of the small cogs and all was fine.

My clutch gets a good amount of abuse. The original started slipping when towing someone home in the mountains. The jeep had around 50k on it. I changed it for a centerforce. Some people complain they vibrate but mine has worked fine. The jeep now has around 120k on it of general abuse and clutch has taken a beating but hasn't given up the ghost yet.

Release bearing shit itself, but while its out I'll change the lot.
Front axle pinion bearings are shot. Hoping the ring and pinion and the arb are OK.

Oh and need to get the rear prop rebuilt and change the d44 pinion yoke  :die:
