McLeod 18-23 Jeep Wrangler JL Adventure Series Super Trail Pro Pack Clutch/Flywheel Kit
A Wrangler JL on 37 inch tires with a regear, armor and a winch asks a lot more of the six-speed manual clutch than the factory planned for. Owners see it as a clutch that slips climbing a ledge in low range, a burning smell after a slow crawl, or stalls when easing over obstacles. McLeod part number 776005K is the Adventure Series Super Trail Pro Pack clutch and flywheel kit for the 2018-2023 JL, built for heavier trucks with larger tires and engine modifications.
McLeod pairs a high clamp load diaphragm pressure plate with a dual-material disc: organic friction on one side for smooth engagement and ceramic on the other for holding power. That split is what separates the Super Trail Pro from McLeod's Trail Pro kit, which uses a steel-backed organic disc and is aimed at mild modifications. McLeod recommends the Super Trail Pro for trucks with stroker, turbo or supercharger builds, added vehicle weight and tires 37 inches and up.
The kit includes McLeod's Max Mass flywheel, a heavy flywheel designed to store more energy so the engine is less likely to stall at low rpm on the trail. McLeod lists the contents as the pressure plate, the organic and ceramic disc, the flywheel, the throw out bearing and pilot bushing where the application uses them, and an alignment tool. The complete package ships at about 74 lb, so plan for a heavy box.
Before upgrading, check your VIN for open recalls. NHTSA recall 23V-116 covers 2018-2023 Wrangler and 2020-2023 Gladiator manual trucks whose clutch pressure plate may overheat and fracture; the dealer remedy replaces the clutch and updates software.
Do a slip test on pavement: in fourth gear at low rpm, apply steady full throttle. If engine speed climbs while the truck does not accelerate with it, the clutch is slipping. A soft or sinking pedal, or grinding into gears only when hot, usually points to the hydraulics instead, so bleed or repair those first. Our slipping diagnosis guide explains how to separate slip from other drivetrain problems, and flare versus slip covers what each feels like.
Our listing covers the 2018-2023 Jeep Wrangler JL with the six-speed manual, which is paired with the 3.6L Pentastar V6. McLeod's product description also refers to the JT Gladiator, so Gladiator owners should send their year and VIN before ordering. Automatic trucks do not use this kit. For a truck on 35s with only light modifications, the McLeod Trail Pro kit 775005K is the milder option, and the ACT JP6-HDSS kit is another organic street choice.
Give the organic side of the disc several hundred miles of easy driving to bed in before hard trail use. A clutch alignment tool kit is handy if you service other vehicles too.
