Luk LFW276 Clutch Flywheel

LuK LFW276 Clutch Flywheel Overview

The LuK LFW276 clutch flywheel is a direct-fit replacement for select Ford and Mercury manual transmission applications. Built to OE specifications, it provides the smooth, flat friction surface needed for consistent clutch engagement on vehicles such as the Ford Focus, Ford Contour, Mercury Cougar, and Mercury Mystique.

When replacing the clutch on a Ford Focus or Mercury Mystique, pairing the clutch set with a new flywheel is a practical alternative to resurfacing an older unit. The LuK LFW276 is all new and engineered to match original equipment dimensions and mounting details.
