Suggested consensus fix was to convert to single mass. But long term reliability was not proven. That jeep driveline is one expensive system to replace if all packs it in due to the vibration frequencies from the diesel engine, my thoughts were of all those big and small bearings having to take the extra vibrations generated that were once cushioned by that DMF system.

50,000kms on my SMF conversion and no problems at all, i thought they were put in mass produced cars to dampen the vibration/ shock when releasing the clutch for idiots who cant drive properly but still want a manual 😂😅.
The jk clutch was a known issue from the factory as they detuned the manuals by 30kw i believe to extend the life of the clutch. I could be wrong on that, too many brain cells fried, but i remenber being told that by someone, so it is heresay.
Not to mention the smf coversion was half the price of genuine replacement
, even the HDversion
