05-065 Clutch Kit

ممتاز

As described, good quality smooth install with great results Highly recommend this product

I put this on a 2004 Jeep Wrangler during a replacement of the throwout bearing. I also replaced the flywheel with the Luk flywheel. This kit comes with the pilot bearing and throwout bearing, but I had ordered the Timlin pilot and National Bearing throwout based on other forum comments and reviews. However, the National Bearing was defective, and the Timlin pilot bearing actually looked inferior to the Luk kit part (teeth were shorter on the inside). I went with all kit parts. That was 1000 miles ago, and I have had zero issues with the Luk clutch kit parts. Many people seemed concerned about the plastic on the kit's throwout bearing - from my perspective 1) I don't think Luk would sell an awesome clutch and pair it with junky accessories, 2) it's a good plastic composite that might actually be preferable to metal (cause it rides on metal, this might be smoother), and 3) it didn't feel cheap or low-quality, it's just not metal. Time will tell if I regret the decision, but for what it's worth I saved $60 bucks or so using the kit parts and I'm not disappointed. As far as the replacement, all the parts fit perfect. Don't forget the slide hammer & puller for the pilot bearing, and you might want to get the fork pin (it's a 5 dollar Mopar part) and swap it while you're in there. Also...I'm pretty sure the dust on the clutch is asbestos, so wipe it up with a damp rag when you see it. And...I'm pretty sure the '04 Wranglers don't have the AX-15 transmission (mine didn't) - so don't freak out when your shifter doesn't rotate and pop out like most of the videos. 4 x 8mm bolts are holding it on from the top - follow your gut and just pop it out (zip tie a plastic bag around it to keep it clean).

This clutch kit fixed my issue of a noisy worn out throw out bearing. The original clutch and bearing worked great for 240,000 miles, but it was time to replace. The gear shifting became smooth like a new Jeep after installation.

i have always used LuK Clutches but was disappointed to see the cheap Release Bearing in the Kit so ordered the national 614093 right away for a replacement ...
