Dauntless Clutch Writeup with pics?

Does anybody have a link to a good writeup for getting into and doing a clutch on a Dauntless powered CJ? I have searched but not found. Got any links?

 

It's pretty much a pull old off/put new on. Not enough to it to do a write up. Mine's apart right now, if you want I can get you some pics for reference.:v6:

 

The best writeup is in the factory manual: http://thejeep.com/shop/TECH+MANUAL....html?osCsid=e76f8eb801f193d6d85942ee457dbf5f

 

$45 for a service manual!! Screw that!

hasn't somebody made that into a pdf file yet?

 

$45 is too much for you to buy a GOOD service manual but you own a Jeep? R) R)

That there's funny!

 

Well considering that I eventually will be putting a Cummins 4BT, SM465 or NV4500, and Dana 60 axles under it, yeah $45 is too much.

Especially considering it will be obselete to me this spring upon purchasing the 4BT!!!

I'd think if you can do all that, putting in a new clutch should be a snap.

 

Surprising to me that you would be considering such ambitious projects and need a walk-through for a clutch replacement. BTW $45 is cheap for a factory manual - look at the price of a manual for the later vehicles. If you'd like to buy the manual, cut it apart, scan it, and host it online, feel free to remedy this shocking injustice

 

I don't need a walkthrough.

I am a marine engineer on a ship, so i am very mechanically inclined. i put my hands on diesel engines up to 15,000 horsepower everyday, six months a year. I am always wrenching on something. Motors, generators, compressors, hydraulic systems, etc, etc, etc.

I ENJOY READING WRITEUPS. i enjoy reading all sorts of stuff, on all sorts of forums that i am a member of, (at least 12 now). I am always reading technical manauls at work, and so the writups are a similar fix for me. Just don't want to waste money on a book either that will be useless to me in 6 months. YKWIM?

 

Sounds to me like a perfect candidate for a Chilton's... Basic R&R, cheap and available everywhere. I've got the Chilton's, Haynes and the FSM... OBTW, for what you've got planned; the cost of a FSM will be a "drop in the bucket"...

 

Nah, the others are, Pirate 4x4.com, Creditboards.com, Jeepforum.com, 4BTswaps.com, 65grendel.com, Quarterbore.net, The High Road.com, Ar15.COM, g35driver.com, my350z.com, Eastern WA Offroad,

and last but not least......................OPENCARRY.ORG

 

Are you in Eastern Wa.? A Western side native myself; but spent ALOT of time in the Yakima/ Wenatchee/ Chelan area as well as the Methow Valley...

 

I am in Spokane.

 

surf, I too enjoy reading writeups but I wouldn't trust myself to do a clutch job without a manual - at least a chiltons or Haynes. The FSM is the one I use the least but it does have some good info.

Not surprised that you're getting a bit of push back regarding not wanting to spend a few bucks on the FSM - many of the guys here really like it. No worries, it's all good.

Just thinking . . . a clutch job on a Jeep is very similar to most other rigs of the day. Maybe search for a writeup on "clutch job" vs "Jeep clutch job"?

A few things to note. Be careful on getting the correct (length) throwout bearing. Find a source for a new clutch fork in case the old one is bad. Sometimes the (new) pilot bushing can cause trouble if the ID is too small & have a plan to get the old one out before you get there.

BTW - I'm from Eastern Washington but that was a long time ago. . . .
