    NV3550 Drama

    Good morning all! This morning on my way to school, I was going to downshift when my trans wouldn’t let me shift into any gear (not just being a little stubborn, not even a good bit of pressure would get it to go.) Doing a little bit of looking around, checked for any leaks from any fluid and...

    97 Wrangler will not start on first key turn

    97 wrangler 4.0 manual transmission. When I start the jeep, hot or cold, I will floor the clutch and then turn the key, for nothing to happen. I release the clutch the press it again, and then it starts. Sometimes it’s the second or third time, others it’s the sixth or seventh. Looked at the...

    Clutch push rod retaining clip (master cylinder-end, not pedal-end)

    I have a 2004 Wrangler TJ. The clutch pedal push rod has fallen out of the clutch master cylinder at the firewall. The pedal-end of the clutch pedal push rod is still attached to the pedal. When I manually reinsert the clutch pedal push rod into the clutch master cylinder the clutch still...

    Clutch won’t disengage

    2002 TJ the clutch stopped disengaging. As in I have to jam it into gear. Forced it in gear a few times and it started working. Worked for 3 days then quit again. I was certain it was a bad slave. I replaced the master and slave with a one piece sealed unit. Still had the problem. Tried driving...

    Still difficult to shift

    It's me ... again. I have a '97 TJ and was experiencing some difficulty shifting (and random grinding going into 2nd & 3rd gear) that came on rather suddenly. One week just fine, next week not so much. In possibly a rushed decision, with it having 230K miles and being 27 years old (and original)...

    Front End Movement

    I'm having an issue where when the clutch isn't engaged, slowing down by letting off the gas or speeding up will initially cause the jeep to lurch forwards or backwards like the frame is catching up to the front axle's movement and they aren't tight and in sync. At least that's what a mechanic I...

    Things not working right after clutch & flywheel replacement

    I replaced the flywheel, clutch, pilot bearing, throwout bearing, master and slave cylinders in my 2001 Wrangler. Replacement seemed to go fine. I had no difficulties. The cylinders came assembled as an all in one unit and supposedly doesn’t require bleeding. Pedal feels fine- firm but not...

    Heavy duty pressure plate?

    Hello all, I'm replacing my clutch for the second time in 3 years or less. I'm attaching picture of the pressure plate. This is exactly what the last one looked like. I'm assuming it's something to do with the throw out bearing? Could definitely be wrong, but the throw out bearing is concave on...

    Is this the clutch going bad or what?

    Hey guys, got a weird problem and I'm wondering if it's a sensor problem or maybe the clutch going out. I have a 1997 jeep tj 4.0 manual with 126000 miles on it. A few weeks ago I started having some problems with the keep lurching/ intermittent loss of power. Normally last for about a second or...

    Clutch Not Fully Disengaging

    Hello all, Recently bought an 03 Rubicon with an engine/ 6 speed trans swapped from an LJ, with a new clutch and slave from the previous owner. (Has rubicon express lift on 35s but I don’t really think that’s relevant.) Driven it around 600 miles with no real issues until last night. Started...

    Searching for Solution to Rattle Noise

    Hey all, so I’ve got an issue I’m trying to diagnose and so far all I’ve got is that it’s got to be a clutch issue and it could also be steering column related. Not really an issue when I first start rolling but after I get where I’m going and I turn into a parking spot in 1st or 2nd and...

    Luk clutch too small?

    I’m told by my mechanic of many years that the Luk clutch is physically too small. They’ve got the “heavy duty” version. Is that the one I want? The part number for the “heavy duty” Luk clutch (that doesn’t fit) is 05-901. The part number I have for another clutch by Luk is 05-065.

    Brief Metal Knocking Noise After Fully Compressing the Clutch When Driving

    Hi, My 2002 Jeep Wrangler with 185000 miles has a brief knocking noise that starts loud and quiets for 1-2 seconds once the clutch disengages from the flywheel. I am not sure if it is related, but when I am driving and release the gas without pushing in the clutch, the jeep catches and harshly...

    Clutch doesn't fully disengage with pedal all the way in - Solved

    Hi all, I am new to the forms but have had my jeep for about 7 years now. I bought the jeep at 96k miles and noticed that the clutch was disengaging very late in the pedal throw (bottom 25%). At 120k miles I replaced the clutch with a Luk 05-065 clutch kit and saw little improvement. Now at 145k...

    Does any have the part number for the flywheel on a 2001 TJ 4.0?

    Does any have the part number for the flywheel on a 2001 TJ 4.0. My NV3550 is starting to act up along with the clutch. I took it to a shop and they want to install the Rockland Terminator transmission and new OEM clutch and flywheel. They want $1600 for clutch and flywheel alone and told me...
