Detailed Description

LuK 05-003 is a transmission clutch kit engineered for manual drivetrain service on select Chrysler and Dodge applications. The push type diaphragm pressure plate, 23-spline disc, and OE-based application matching help maintain proper clutch release characteristics and drivability. This kit is a practical choice for restoring clutch operation on vehicles such as the Dodge Dart, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and Chrysler LeBaron when the original clutch assembly shows wear.

This part cross-references Gates 90334 for the same application. The LuK 05-003 designation is also useful when verifying interchange references during clutch replacement or transmission repair.
