Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm transmission input shaft diameter, spline count, and clutch diameter before installation. Inspect the flywheel, pilot bearing area, and release system for wear before reassembly. Proper alignment during installation is important for smooth clutch engagement and to reduce premature wear. Verify vehicle-specific fitment for the exact year and model before ordering; LuK 04-153 is listed for 1996-2005 Chevrolet Blazer, 1996-2004 Chevrolet S10, 1996-2005 GMC Jimmy, 1996-2004 GMC Sonoma, and additional listed applications.
