Detailed Product Description

The Luk 03-083 Transmission Clutch Kit is engineered to meet the specific requirements of BMW M5 and M6 vehicles. Featuring a self-adjusting pressure plate, this kit maintains optimal clutch pedal travel and engagement without manual adjustments. The clutch disc diameter of 8-13/16 inches and clutch diameter of 11-3/16 inches ensure precise fitment within the transmission housing. The 26 spline clutch disc matches the 1-3/8 inch input shaft diameter, providing a secure and reliable connection for power transfer.
