The 2000 Jeep TJ Wrangler clutch mechanism consists of a flywheel, a single, dry-type disc, and a diaphragm style clutch cover. A hydraulic linkage is used to operate the clutch release bearing and fork. The flywheel is bolted to the rear flange of the crankshaft. The clutch pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel with the clutch disc located between these two components. Below picture shows the 2000 Jeep TJ Wrangler Clutch Parts | Components.
