Mine. It's a old truck with a bad transmission. If everything worked it might be worth $5000. It might take me $3-4000 to make it all good. I might just take it to the salvage yard and cash in.

That's not directed at you, but why is the car going through so many??? I'd be asking the repair shop what quality of parts are they using???

Or someone driving it is riding the clutch and burning it up....

the first two clutches were done by the dealer under warranty, last one by me, 2 of the clutches were Mopar Brand, the last one was a Sachs brand heavy duty clutch. no clutch riding here
 
Well it is painted, and no the gun did not explode this time, tell you what that paint is really thick.

the only thing i can think of is a faulty throwout bearing causing the clutch to ride on itself. I've changed it each time. but its plastic and every time the clutch has gone out, the throwout bearing has been in multiple pieces when the trans is dropped

What kind of vehicle is it? I have seen clutches on some of the late model vehicles. It's a wonder they work at all. Not much to them.
 
I always like timkin myself. Ask on FTO what is good they have a jeep section, good group over there.

timken is what is in it now. with a Sachs clutch. I've used LUK before on a different vehicle and didn't like it. I'm leaning towards that centerforce, those ones you linked look essentially like stock clutches. I think an upgrade is needed. check this one out Centerforce Jeep Wrangler Dual Friction Clutch DF098391 (07-11 3.8L Wrangler JK) - Free Shipping
 
Is the input shaft on the trans ok? Something has to be causing it, might just be a worn input bearing?
