vs
Clutch kit Luk or Exedy
I’d recommend going with a reputable brand like LUK. If it’s a street car without any power adding modifications, just get a stock style organic clutch kit, like the Valeo kit from rock auto or FCP.
Pros: reputable brand, stock style
i did the LUK clutch kit and fly wheel, ppl on acurazine recommend to not use the throw out bearing from the kit and to get the OEM one, also oem rear main seal. that’s what i ended up doing and clutch is great 8k miles so far so good knock on wood.
Pros: great performance, good reliability
Mileage: 8000 km
I got the Exedy Oem Clutch kit + cast iron flywheel. I have about 2 thousand on the new clutch and it feels great
Pros: feels great
Mileage: 2000 km
Throwout bearing on my 2000 TJ blew at 195k, but there was probably 50-80k left on the clutch plate. My last XJ was over 240k and had zero issues (different transmission but I believe the plates were similar).
You don't mention the year of your Wrangler, but my full LuK clutch kit was $135, got a cheap transmission jack from Harbor Freight for $80, had to order a new clutch fork clip for $2.50, that was it.

Pros: highly recommended
Vehicle:

Part number: FJK1001
Needed a clutch after 100k miles in my 2016… went all-in… Exedy clutch kit, flywheel kit, Subaru slave, Torque Solutions fork and pivot, Subaru rear engine seal and Perrin clutch hose…. 12k miles since & I’m still amazed how much better it feels…
Pros: much better feel
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 12000 km
If they make it for your car, the Exedy Stage 1 HD is excellent.
Pros: excellent quality
Vehicle:
Subaru
Just did a LUK 10-064 clutch kit and LUK DMF118 flywheel a few weeks ago. Still at the break in stage, but so far so good.
Pros: so far so good
Part number: 10-064
I've been buying the kits on eBay (munirater brand) and they say LUK on them, I'm guessing maybe someone is remanufacturing them, I can't imagine that they're selling LUK kits on eBay for $380. Or they are knockoff or counterfeit? They work fine.
Pros: work fine
Cons: potential knockoff
So I went with the OEM clutch manufacturer, Exedy. I purchased what I thought would be an upgraded clutch, the EXEDY 10803AHD Clutch Kit. The dealership installed the new clutch without issue and without addition labor charge at that time. That was less than 10k miles ago. The dealer finishes the inspection and informs me that the clutch its self has failed. I called Exedy and talked with a technician. After explaining the situation and providing him the part number for the clutch, he promptly informed me that they no longer recommend that clutch to RX8 owners, only FC RX7 owners. Within the last three months they discovered that the tolerances were off by 1 or 2mm, causing premature failure. The kicker is that I didn't originally buy the wrong clutch. It was one they recommended for the 8 at the time I purchased it. Even though they agree with that statement, they refused to do anything for me with this issue its caused. Absolutely zero. Its just absolutely shocking to me that a well known company like them would operate that way.
Cons: premature failure, tolerance issues, poor customer service
