Clutch Parts for Jeep CJ6
Clutch Disc, Pressure Plate & Throwout Bearing for Confident Power Transfer (1955–1975).
Why the Clutch in the Jeep CJ6 Needs Renewal Over the Years.
The clutch mechanically transfers engine power to the manual transmission in the Jeep CJ6 – every shift and every off-road power delivery puts equal strain on the friction disc, pressure plate, and throwout bearing. The clutch disc wears down continuously through friction until the lining slips and power transfer weakens. Pressure plates lose clamping force over time, while pilot and throwout bearings run dry or seize, causing uneven clutch play and audible rattling. Clutch cables, forks, and springs wear out from constant actuation, dust boots crack and let dirt reach the bearing surfaces, and even the pedal pad wears down with every press. Anyone driving the CJ6 off-road or running larger tires should inspect clutch components especially regularly, since a failure on the trail brings the vehicle to an immediate stop.

Proven American Brand Quality for Your CJ6.
Clutch discs, pressure plates, pilot and throwout bearings come predominantly from Crown Automotive – American engineering tailored to the demands of the CJ6 drivetrain. The clutch release bellcrank comes from Omix, also with American roots. The clutch pedal for the early model years is supplied by MD Juan. No brand is recorded in the data for the idler shaft spring.
