Clutch Kit

Some kits include a new flywheel or dual-mass flywheel. The gearbox has to be removed to fit it. Labour is often the largest part of the cost. Kits are matched to the engine and gearbox, so the engine code or VIN helps order the correct one. Some clutches have self-adjusting pressure plates that require a special tool.

The pressure plate clamps the disc against the flywheel; the release bearing frees it when the pedal is pressed.

Check the flywheel during replacement. Replace the release bearing along with the clutch.
