Thanks mate.
I've just been through the whole ordering clutch parts thing, chacing numbers ect.
Would be great to see a 2.5lt specific sticky where us newbies can easly find this sort of info.
I'll be the first if that's OK
I've got a 2002 KJ 2.5lt CRD MFR Date 4/2002 with 175000kms only had it since Christmas 2011 and the clutch has gone 3 weeks ago.
According to Jeep service dep in Wollongong NSW, said it's a solid flywheel and can be machined.
So far i have been able to get (in the post) pressure plate 52104302AK and disc 52104303AK from England delivered for $376.15 from an Ebay seller ( wefoundtheparts ) not sure if he can get more.
Jeep Aust wanted $691.83 for the above
www.moparonlineparts.com can only supply some parts.
Apparently Chrysler US will not release the clutch for sale in US so can't be ordered from Mopar. Would have been $177.10 if i could.
To order from Mopar you need numbers, without them forgetit.
Clutch bearing 53008342 from Jeep Aust $159.17
from Mopar $63.08
Rear main seal 5066756AA from Jeep Aust $251.55
from Mopar $45.48
Transfer case switch 5083138AA from Mopar $63.08
didn't bother to get a price from Jeep.
Postage from US $60.00 for the above. (also in the post)
Hope to have them all in a few days
Have been quoted 3 to 3 1/2 hours @ $80 to fit by machanic i know who hasn't done one yet. I'll show him the write up, leaving out the 5 hour part.
I would do it my self, but much easyer with a hoist.
Hope this helps anyone with a 2.5lt
