Jeep Dodge Chrysler a once proud American Company....Once not no more...We just received a recall notice for burning and uncontained clutch failures on the Wife's Wrangler....how long have clutches and coil springs been around??
Butttt have they ever been *this* cheap to manufacture?We just received a recall notice for burning and uncontained clutch failures on the Wife's Wrangler....how long have clutches and coil springs been around??
Probably because manuals are the best anti-theft device, and most folks have no clue on how the drive them.We just received a recall notice for burning and uncontained clutch failures on the Wife's Wrangler....how long have clutches and coil springs been around??
Mine being a '98 has the AX-15 5-speed manual. It is very notchy. I added a B&M short shift kit which made it even more notchy, but the throws are definitely nicer. It is very easy to drive as far as starting on a hill is concerned from all the low-end torque of the 4.0L, I could start out in 2nd most times if I wanted to, but it isn't the smoothest transmission.Probably because manuals are the best anti-theft device, and most folks have no clue on how the drive them.
Manual Wranglers aren't the easiest to drive smoothly at the best of times.
Yup...although I owned Jeeps when they were American...not really much better...Jeep Dodge Chrysler a once proud American Company....Once not no more...
I'm guessing that in an effort to lighten the clutch for a big portion of their market (I swear every other college girl here on the Cape has one) they made the new Wrangler clutches what they are now; touchy and delicate... I need to really concentrate to get a smoother shift in my Wife's. No feel to the clutch at all, but at least the gearshift is decent.Probably because manuals are the best anti-theft device, and most folks have no clue on how the drive them.

My clutch is basically new (I installed a Luk clutch kit and new flywheel last year) and it still has the feel of a dump truck. Adds to the charm though.I'm guessing that in an effort to lighten the clutch for a big portion of their market (I swear every other college girl here on the Cape has one) they made the new Wrangler clutches what they are now; touchy and delicate...

This is the "new" Alpha Romeo platform (WL) GC's. The Durango is still on the old WK2 platform, which is why it isn't affected.
Honda recalled 564,000 CR-V's back in April because the rear subframe can rot and the rear suspension detach from the vehicle:

As noted in the article, this is on the heels of a recall for the mirrors, where the glass can fall out, which in turn is on the heels of a recall for seatbelts that don't latch properly.
Where were you on this one:
Or this one:
There are lots more...
EVERYBODY has recalls, it drives me nuts when people make threads pretending that their favourite brand has never even heard of the idea of recalls, let alone ever has any.
