McLeod 18-23 Jeep Wrangler JL Adventure Series Trail Pro Pack Clutch/Flywheel Kit
Most manual Wrangler JL owners do not need a race clutch. They need one that keeps up after a lift, 35 inch tires, a bumper and a winch have added a few hundred pounds and made the factory clutch work harder on every climb. If your 2018-2023 JL slips when you lug it up a grade in a tall gear, smells hot after a slow trail day, or just feels tired at 60,000 miles, McLeod part number 775005K is the Adventure Series Trail Pro clutch pack with flywheel built for exactly that kind of truck.
McLeod designed the Trail Pro for the occasional off-roader and the daily-driven trail truck with mild engine modifications, extra vehicle weight and larger tires. It uses McLeod's high clamp load diaphragm pressure plate with a steel-backed organic disc. The organic facing engages smoothly and evenly, so pulling away in traffic or inching over a rock feels close to stock, while the higher clamp load gives more holding power than the original clutch.
McLeod lists the kit as a heavy duty pressure plate, the disc, a throw out bearing where the application uses one, a pilot bushing where the application uses one, and an alignment tool, and the part is packaged as a clutch and flywheel kit. The box ships at about 73 lb, so expect a freight-weight delivery and plan to have a helper or a transmission jack for the install.
Run your VIN for open recalls first. NHTSA recall 23V-116 covers 2018-2023 Wrangler and 2020-2023 Gladiator manual trucks whose clutch pressure plate can overheat and fracture. If your truck has the open campaign, the dealer remedy comes first.
Separate a worn clutch from a hydraulic fault. Slip shows up as rpm flaring under load with the pedal fully released. A pedal that sinks, a clutch that will not fully release, or grinding into reverse usually traces back to the master cylinder, slave or air in the line. Our slipping diagnosis guide walks through the checks in order, and shift flare vs slip explains what true slip feels like from the seat.
This listing is for the 2018 through 2023 Jeep Wrangler JL with the six-speed manual transmission behind the 3.6L Pentastar V6. McLeod's own description title also mentions the JT Gladiator, so a Gladiator owner should send the year and VIN so we can confirm before it ships. JL trucks with the eight-speed automatic do not use a clutch. If your build has a big engine mod, 37s or heavy armor, McLeod points those trucks to the Super Trail Pro kit 776005K, which uses an organic and ceramic disc. For a lighter street clutch from another maker, compare the ACT JP6 Pro-Mass kit.
Drive a few hundred easy miles before towing or wheeling so the organic disc beds in evenly. If you work on several trucks, a clutch alignment tool kit covers most spline sizes, and our manual repair cost guide shows what shops typically charge for clutch labor.
