Detailed Description

LuK 17-034 is a clutch replacement kit engineered around the requirements of select Volkswagen manual-transmission vehicles. The kit centers on a push type diaphragm pressure plate, a 9-inch clutch disc, and a 28-spline input interface, with application-specific dimensions that matter when replacing worn clutch components in a Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, Passat, Corrado, or EuroVan. LuK develops performance specifications as an original-equipment supplier, and this kit reflects that OE-focused approach for drivability and fitment accuracy.
