I need some advice/help here
Okay I bought my jeep used and for all I know the clutch has never been changed! it now has about 155,000 miles on it and I'm looking to replace it! I found a supper heavy-duty clutch on the net for about $280 dollars! I is supposed to have 90% more holding power than a stock clutch!! SO I thought that was pretty cool so I was thinking of getting it!
So here is the fun part!
I once changed the .......I'm having a wicked brain FART!!
(what the hell is it called)
Well I changed the nice big chunk of rubber that helps keep your transmission in one place and it bolts to your cross member. Hope that is enough info for you to understand what I'm talking about....
Anyway in the process of doing that I had two of the four bolts that keep the cross member up snap on me! To make a long story short I just welded the cross member up!
Now knowing that....
Who wants to help me put in a clutch? I've never done a clutch before and would like to learn how to do it. Oh I forgot to mention that I'm poor and could only offer $50 dollars and a case of beer! so If your interested please let me know if you want to help
Thanks again Ryan

EEKK
That cross member needs to come off. your gonna have to cut the weld and drop the cross member. you need to pull the Tcase and tranny to change a clutch, as for perfomance clutches and junk, I have had them all, get a factory spec clutch, the "performance clutches" are not worth the extra cash. If your jeep made somewhere in the of 400HP then a performance clutch would be needed, but.... Since I am assuming you have a 170 hp 4.0, you don't need it.
That rubber chunk you speak of is a tranny mount.It accually is a vibration isolator so the motor's vibration doesn't resonate throught the entire vehicle.
I work for beer, so keep your $50, is a clutch needed now? Cause I have a list of things to do, Brians jeep Trevor's jeep my jeep

So your saying you would be interested in helping me? Do you think this would be something that we could do in a day?? And if you are interested it is nothing that needs to be done right this second it can wait a few weeks till I get my brake project done. I'm thinking I'll probably be ready to do it in one month
.... I need to win the lottery but then again don't we all?
If you would like to see what your getting into I'll post some pics of the cross member...
