Jeep Wrangler JK Clutch & Flywheel

As you set out on a muddy or rock adventure, the last thing you want is your clutch slipping or sticking. While the clutch will let you know it's time to be replaced, upgrading to a high-performing aftermarket option provides peace of mind that it will be able to handle whatever the off-road ahead has for you. Although the flywheel is not a frequent replacement, there are ones available on the market designed for high adventures.

Upgrading Your Jeep Wrangler JK's Clutch & Flywheel

A key element of off-roading is the satisfaction of shifting just right to handle the terrain. Although adding weight to a vehicle isn’t always the best option, it may be when it comes to the flywheel. High-inertia flywheels are heavier, but that means added inertia and other benefits. This type of flywheel is more resistant to stalling out, which minimizes the chances of the engine being killed while going uphill. They also allow for lower RPMs, letting you downshift less frequently and potentially increasing fuel economy. High-performing clutches are designed to better handle torque and heat transfer compared to factory components, letting you get more aggressive while traversing any terrain.
