My jeep starts, what I call the death shake, when I reach speeds between 58mph & 60mph. I have changed the shocks, stearing stablizer shock, and tires. I still have the death shake. Please help.
The condition is more common in lifted Jeeps though not confined to them.
2800 is just shy of where the 2.5 has the most power it seems (but that isn't saying a WHOLE lot.

Why is it important to get a non-OE weatherstrip?
BTW this should be in the Jeep Wrangler 97-2006 section not the YJ area.
Try quadratec or JCWhitney.

I found some trim, but this may be for the side windows...

I have a stock 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited.
You MUST consider all the little things you have to do - transmission, transfer case (possibly), stronger axles. engine harness, radiator, hoses, motor mounts, etc. It is a lot more than just pulling the 2.5 out and putting something new in.

Thanks!

If all you have done is to replace the clutch, then either the friction plate is not properly centered, or the pilot bearing has moved or is damaged.
Also, if you've allowed the weight of the transmission to hang on the clutch while trying to install it, you might have warped the center of the friction plate.
Thanks for your suggestions. if you have any about removing the transfer case, please let me know.

Centering the friction plate requires finesse, it isn't just a case of 'if the tool fits it must be good'.
Start by mounting the clutch assembly to the flywheel with the alignment tool in place, but only lightly tighten the clutch cover bolts. The friction plate should be free to move when a little sideways pressure is applied to the tool.
Using the tool, push the friction plate all the way up, then all the way down. The exact center of alignment in the vertical plane will be half way between the two positions.
Now move the plate from one side to the other to find the center of alignment in the horizontal plane.
The tricky part is maintain the center position in one plane while aligning the other, but you'll soon get a feel for it after practicing it a few times.
Finally, torque down the cover housing to the correct setting and, just as important, in the correct order.
Despite the grease packet that came with your clutch, I stand by what I said.
The grease will hold both dust from the friction material and dirt, neither of which will contribute to the smooth operation of the clutch.
Use a graphite lubricant which either comes as a dry powder or as graphite flakes suspended in a liquid carrier which will evaporate after application.
Available from most hardware stores, here's a link to both types at ACE Hardware.

please look at all the other suggestions - coolant hoses that collaspe when hot - old thermostat etc.
but most jeep motors that i get that have blown head gaskets have BAD water pumps.
Thanks,
Dave
Thanks for all your help in the past, you're all great people!
