I have to replace slave cylinder and its internal, I'm going to replace clutch and flywheel as well, can anyone recommend what all needs to be replaced, I am guessing, clutch, flywheel, slave cylinder (if I can find internal one) pilot bushing, throw out beariing, any thing else? I also planned on putting centerforce duel fricxtion clutch on as I am going to be towing with this, and I saw some steel flywheels on quadratec, does anyone know of an aluminum flywheel for the ax15 or recommend a certain clutch setup for pulling around 3500 pounds? Also a part number for a internal slave cylinder would be awesome

Thanks in Advance,
dave

ive towed well over 3500 lbs plenty of times with just stock setup, replacement clutch kits usually come with disk, pressure plate, thrust bearing, pilot bearing(s) and pilot alignment tool. my 96 has the external slave cylinder but i'd imagine the internal isnt too hard to swap out

thing is I have some power mods and am going to be doing head and cam in a few weeks and want to make sure clutch will hold up to a 4wd clutch, also I no this is almost sacrilegious and against everything xj but it also has a bit of the giggle juice.

I will. BTW, unless you have strictly a rock crawler DO NOT order fidenza flywheel, I ordered one not noticing the weight as I use them on my track cars, when I noticed the weight I called fidenza and they said absolutely don't use them on street, said it would drive horrible and kill top end.

feels great, I am very happy with this clutch. With new slave cylinder clutch pedal feels like stock and clutch has very nice engagement feel.

Just a little update on the clutch. (warning, DO NOT do this, unless you want exploding parts all over) This clutch is awesome, I have done 4k clutch drops with vehicle in 4wd, and it just grabs with no slipping at all. Yes, I drag race my cherokee tow vehicle, I have issues.

Got the video, its just that it is 60 meg. It needs some editing to cut out unimportant parts and I need a place to host it (photobbucket will probably do) Anyone know if windows 7or xp or ubuntu linux comes with video editing software, or knows of a free video editing software download that won't put spyware and corrupt my computer in any way.

Only worth watching starting at 30 seconds through about the 1 minute mark, the rest is nothing, and I know, it was a bad launch, I bogged a bit.
