This LuK 04-246 kit is specified with a 1-inch input shaft diameter, 14-spline disc, and push-type diaphragm pressure plate, so matching the existing transmission and flywheel setup is important. Inspect the flywheel surface, release system, and pilot components during service to help ensure smooth engagement after replacement.
