Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the transmission input shaft diameter, spline count, and clutch diameter before installation. Inspect the flywheel surface, pilot area, and hydraulic or mechanical release components for wear while the transmission is removed. Proper alignment during assembly is important for smooth clutch engagement and long service life. Use the vehicle-specific fitment data to verify the application before ordering LuK 05-087.
