Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the clutch disc diameter, spline count, and input shaft dimensions before installation. Inspect the flywheel, pilot components, and release system for wear during service, and confirm that the release bearing required for your application is sourced separately if needed. Proper alignment and torque procedures are important for smooth engagement and long service life.
