Tell us a little about the jeep. What year? Engine? Miles? transmission type?

From another thread, I gathered it was a manual transmission, because he was looking for a used clutch. My guess is that the clutch is slipping very, very badly. Much more of that and it will burn out completely. Was there much smoke coming from under the Jeep when you did this?

Haha yea something like that, I wouldn't run any other engine though. I can roll this one over and it doesnt smoke at all, never spills oil, its a dream. I don't think that really pertains to you though...

I can't say yay or nay on Centerforce clutches, as I have no experience with them. All I've ever used, and the rest of my family, for that matter, is Luk clutches. Since the mid 70's, my immediate family has probably bought 8-10 clutches, all of the Luk, and they performed well and lasted until the vehicle was sold years later. I'm sure there are some on the board who have used Centerforce and can give their opinions on that brand, and I know many will also back me on the Luk clutches.
Good luck and keep us informed on how you do!

LUK is a good brand, the 2.5L doesn't really need the extra holding power of the Centerforce clutch, money best spent elsewhere. Try www.carolinaclutch.com or www.dialaclutch.com for LUK brand clutches.

5.13's. But I have a granny transmission, gets me down to 95:1 crawl, it's the only reason the Jeep moves. Most people are amazed at the stuff I make the damn thing do.:twisted:

Heck, I've just given him a hard time so far...
A good tune up goes a long way, and as everyone else is saying it could very well be your clutch. Also if your cat is clogged that can cause bogging down and loss of power. You pretty much need to give the Jeep a good once over
