The usual result is clutch grab, chatter and rapid wear.<\/p>\n<p>An improperly seated flywheel and\/or clutch housing are additional causes of clutch failure. Improper seating will produce misalignment and additional clutch problems.<\/p>\n<p>The use of non-standard or low quality parts will also lead to problems and wear. Only use recommended factory parts.<\/p>\n<p>A cocked pilot bearing is another cause of clutch noise, drag, hard shifting, and rapid bearing wear. Always use an alignment tool to install a new bearing. This practice helps avoid cocking the bearing during installation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a 98 jeep Cherokee 5 speed manual with a 4.0L the transmission is out in it. was looking to replace it has the AX 15 tranny.
