Which clutch?

[Tinstar751]

I have an 82 Jamboree CJ7 with a Chevy 350 crate motor on the stock T-5 tranny. Any ideas on which clutch set up to buy for replacement. Any help would appreciated.

I'm happy with a Centerforce clutch.

X2 on centerforce absolutely love it just make sure you get the correct diameter and spline count

Thanks for the input. The current clutch doesn't seem right because there is no room slack. Meaning, the very second you start to relapse the clutch, it grabs a lot. Hardly any room to feather it if that makes sense. It is adjusted properly. Since I didn't do the engine swap, I'm not sure what's in there.

Do you have a solid disc in there? If there are no springs to absorb that shock it will grab really hard. We had one in our dune buggy years ago, that was a neck breaker...

I had a center force dual friction that was like that all in or neutral no slip at all…. it was meant to be that way though and maybe yours is to

Since I bought it this way, I have no idea what's in there. I plan on pulling the engine this winter to do seals and a distributor change. I figured it would be a good time to do the clutch while I was in there. Also planning to change it over to a serpentine system as well. Of course at this rate, it may go back in with a fuel injection system if I'm not careful.....
