Default Aftermarket Clutch?

So my clutch is pretty much gone...I want a HD clutch and I was on my parts website...carpartswholesale.com looking for some and found some ZOOM and CENTERFORCE clutches I liked. Any of you all fellow 97-01 XJ's used a HD clutch? If so what did you use? Did it work well?

I don't have one in my XJ, but I just put a Centerforce II in my Chevy. Works well and the pedal is easier to push. I got it from Summit Racing

I had a CenterForce in my CJ5 and loved it,took the abuse of the Rubicon on a regular basis and never failed.

When you installed did you change out flywheel and go whole nine yards? I'm the type of guy that would rather rebuild it all down there while I'm down there rather than have the one part I didn't replace go out and go down there twice!

How'd that work for you? I guess if my flywheel ain't shot I'll just turn it as well.

Worked fine. You don't need to buy a new flywheel every time you change clutches. Take it to a auto machine shop and ask them their opinion. It cost me about $35

Sounds good...You have an AM clutch? If so, what brand?
