Will the EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch fit a Jeep Wrangler TJ?

Yes. Turn 14 lists the 01950 for the 1997-2006 Wrangler TJ with the 4.0-liter six, Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, X and Unlimited included, along with the 1994-1995 YJ and the 2007-2011 JK with the 3.8-liter V6. Each listed vehicle uses the same 265 mm disc and 10-tooth, 28.5 mm input spline.

How much torque will this clutch hold?

EXEDY rates the 01950 at 374 lb-ft of torque capacity at the wheels, 490 lb-ft at the flywheel and 639 lb-ft of clutch torque, all from a 2,473 lb clamp load. That is well beyond the factory 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 and 4.0-liter engines, so the kit suits stroker sixes, forced induction, larger tires and regular towing.

Is a cerametallic clutch good for slow trail driving?

It holds well but engages abruptly. Cerametallic facing resists slipping and heat fade, which helps with heavy tires and towing, yet it gives less feel when the clutch is slipped at walking pace. A Jeep used mostly for slow rock work may be easier to drive on an organic disc with a lower torque rating.

How hard is it to install a clutch on a Wrangler or Cherokee?

It is a transmission-out job. On four-wheel-drive models the driveshafts and transfer case come out with the gearbox before the clutch can be reached. A shop, or an owner with a lift and a transmission jack, can usually finish in a day. Resurface or replace the flywheel and bleed the hydraulic release system at the same time.

What is the difference between EXEDY Stage 1 and Stage 2 clutches?

EXEDY Stage 1 kits use an organic disc with smooth, factory-like engagement for mild upgrades. The EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch moves to cerametallic friction material that holds more torque and resists heat fade, with a sharper bite in return. Stage 2 makes sense once power, tire size or towing load has outgrown an organic disc.

Description

EXEDY Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for Dodge Dakota and Jeep Cherokee, Liberty and Wrangler (Cushion Button Disc)

EXEDY’s Stage 2 Cerametallic Clutch Kit for Dodge Dakota and Jeep Cherokee, Liberty and Wrangler uses one 265 mm, 10-spline clutch across the 3.9-liter Dakota, the 4.0-liter Cherokee and Wrangler and the 3.7 and 3.8-liter V6 Jeeps. With a cushion-button cerametallic disc and 2,473 lb of clamp load it is rated at 374 lb-ft at the wheels, the kind of margin a stroker six, oversized tires or a loaded trailer will use.

Design and Performance

EXEDY casts the cover in ductile iron and pairs it with a 265 mm cushion-button disc on a 10-tooth, 28.5 mm spline. The 2,473 lb clamp load produces 639 lb-ft of clutch torque and 490 lb-ft at the flywheel by EXEDY figures. Cerametallic friction material resists slipping and heat fade where a stock-type disc gives up, while a sprung center damper takes some of the shock out of the driveline when the clutch bites.

Notes

Cerametallic engagement is firmer than a stock organic clutch, most noticeably when pulling away on a slope or creeping in low range

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
