Mine is still the stock one. I'd go with another one. Or one made by Luk. Nothing real aggressive.

something with slipping the clutch probably cause the 1 year failure - could be some oil coming out of the input shaft seal on the transmission or maybe you burned it on some offroad runs, should last way longer than 1 year.

I'm on my stock as well.  LUK is good.  I don't see any reason to get a Centerforce.

Mine probably has the oem '94 clutch that it came from the factory with.  There's some slippage, but that's been that way since '99 when I bought the jeep (actually I'm pretty sure I'm the one who caused the slippage in the first place ..Don't ask what I was doing to the thing on the solo test drive...).

I guess you do a replacement Luk or whatever, you'd want to resurface the flywheel, right?  And can't use the "weights" on the Centerforce upgrade, I guess.
