Detailed Description

Built for foot-operated clutch systems, the Luk CRS017 supports hydraulic clutch actuation in place of a cable-driven setup. By removing cable friction from the system, it helps reduce clutch wear and provides smoother operation, which is especially relevant in compact engine bays where packaging space is limited. This part cross-references Sachs SPM008 and Dorman - First Stop CC649033 for the same application. Search terms such as Ford Ranger clutch master cylinder and line assembly, Ford Explorer hydraulic clutch assembly, and Mazda B4000 manual transmission clutch master cylinder apply to this part number CRS017.
