What, in your opinion, is the best clutch kit for a Rubicon? How did it help performance and how is the reliability? I'm thinking about the Highlifter Clutch Kit, but is there better out there? Let's hear it!

 

All the clutch is responsible for on a Rubicon is engaging the drivetrain and engine at a given RPM, and then keeping it locked up above that point. The springs in the centrifugal clutch are the main factor here. So...all a clutch kit can possibly do is change that engagement point, presumably to a higher RPM, with stiffer springs. You're not going to see any difference once the auto tranny is engaged. If you need that higher RPM engagement from a standstill I can see where it might be useful. If you don't need that particular benefit, it's a waste of time and money.

 

So is there a way to get more acceleration out of the Rubicon besides pipe/jets/filter?

 

Ya, have a grizzly pull ya.
Allright, just kidding...A rube isnt designed to be quick, outside of what you mentioned, maybe a lighter flywheel, or smaller diameter tires, but whatever you do, isnt going to help alot. Its like asking how to make a john deere tractor faster....

 

keep it simple the more mods the more problems
