Does anyone here know of a good XJ shop in the Charlotte area where I might be able to get a quote on clutch and flywheel replacement?

Thanks for all the helpful information.

Price drop, $2000 It has been getting hard to shift, I think it needs a new clutch, pressureplate, and throw-out bearing.

Thanks for the reply! I don't plan to tow anything, was going to try to find one with the V6. Can you fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back with both back rows of seats down? From what I could find online, it looks like the 2010 has the least issues.

I have been thinking about getting a commander. Is there a production year sweet spot in the commanders?

yes

Decided it is time to find a new home for my XJ. I dont get to drive it much these days and I hate to see it sitting lonely in the driveway. I replaced the original tranny with a AX-15, the head was replaced about 18 months ago. Have replaced MANY parts over the past 4 years. Interior is in...

A lot of Commanders in Charlotte LKQ also.

I found a couple threads where the fan would work fine when cold but not when it was hot. Maybe a new fan would be the solution.

Well, I have a high-flow thermostat, new fan shroud, and new belt heading my way from rock auto. The radiator is 2.5 years old, the water pump is about 3months old, the fan clutch is about a year old. I flushed the system out about 2 years ago when I replaced the heater core (boy was that a...

Now I am getting a P1491 CEL code. (RADIATOR FAN CONTROL RELAY CIRCUIT) I ran it down the road about 10 miles and it stayed at 180Deg (I have a 180deg thermostat in it). I read on here to test the fan while the engine was running by unplugging the temp sender at the thermostat housing. When I...

actually, the top of the fan shroud broke off. it is still on the lower 3/4 though. I broke the original one and ordered a new one from rock auto. I managed to break the new one a couple months ago.

Well, I did have a fan relay issue. With the AC on and temp at 225 it was still not spinning. I removed the relay and replaced with an old one, still nothing. Put the newer one in and it started working. It now comes on at 220 and cuts off at 217. The gauge on mine seems a bit off. the...

I know it was working but will have to make sure. Was thinking maybe fan clutch also.
