- Clutch replacement jobs where resurfacing is not the preferred option
- Dimensional wear that can affect clutch pedal feel and drivability
Installation Notes
Inspect the clutch, pressure plate, release components, and rear main seal during service. Confirm flywheel diameter, inner diameter, tooth count, and step height before installation. For best results, replace the flywheel when servicing the clutch on compatible Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer models to restore a clean, flat mating surface.
