Default What really grinds my gears...

...My slowly dying clutch.

Ever since I put the 4.11's in my Jeep, I've sensed the clutch starting to "show it's age" more and more, (136k on most likely the orig clutch) with slight gear 'mashing' every once in a while. So I just started shifting slower. Yesterday, just trying to downshift into 2nd while coming to a stop sign, and man did it GRIND.

So now I need advice on Replacement Clutches. I'm thinking even a brand new OE replacement will be fine because I've had no problems while wheeling. But if any one has any input on the subject, I will be more than happy to listen to/consider any opinions regarding what brand of aftermarket clutch kits or even performance upgrades. Now just remember that this is my daily driver, so i would like something with a stock(ish) pedal feel.

Thanks

Sorry for double posting

I have a cenerforce clutch kit in mustang i went with the oe preplacement style it has a little harder pedal but you could easily driev it everyday its a great clutch i would recomend getting the kit it comes with everything you need also get your flywheel turned or replace it its worth it
