  • Which clutch shop?

    Ok, the time has come for a new clutch and I finally have the money. I've got two shops lined up that can do the work for about the same price, but which should I go to? One is a transmission specialty shop (Shucks Transmissions in Hayward, CA) and the other is a general service shop that I have a good history with (AMR in Hayward, CA). I was going to go with Schucks, but I just found out AMR also does clutches and now I'm unsure of which would be better. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

    Use the guy you have a good history with. Replacing the clutch is NOT rocket science, unless you need to get into the transmission.....then it IS rocket science.

      Thanks for the advice man. Only thing is...I have a good history with both lol Schucks did the tranny, t-case and rear-end on my Jeep and I've been very happy with their work as well. I don't know what to do lol

          I was thinking about the SLP setup, but since she's a daily driver, I think I'll stick with stock just because of the amount of slip it alots you. Schucks has the cheaper price and I was going to have them work on it first anyways. Thanks for the advice guys.

            If schucks rebuilt the tranny, rearend, and t case on a jeep, the clutch will be a no brainer for them.

            If your power is stock, use a stock clutch. Its cheaper and more driveable. IF you want to add power in the future, look at SPEC clutches. I have had a pleasant experiences with SPEC.

              I'm going to add power to it, but nothing major...only bolt-ons (CAI, exhaust...the normal basic stuff). Stock should stlll be good on that...right?
