Product Details

LuK has extensive experience in hydraulic clutch release systems, and that expertise is reflected in this clutch master cylinder design. The LMC117 is built for Chevrolet Corvette manual transmission applications from 1984 through 1988, providing the hydraulic control needed to transfer pedal input into clutch actuation. This part cross-references Dorman - First Stop CM39717 and Sachs SH5109 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Hard or inconsistent clutch pedal feel
• Loss of hydraulic pressure in the clutch release system
• Clutch engagement or disengagement issues caused by master cylinder wear
• Fluid leakage from a failing master cylinder
• Difficulty shifting related to hydraulic clutch operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hydraulic line routing and mounting points before installation on your Chevrolet Corvette. Because this unit is not pre-filled or pre-bled, the system must be filled and bled after installation to remove air from the hydraulic circuit. Inspect the clutch slave cylinder, lines, and related seals during service to help avoid repeat repairs.

Quality Assurance

LuK draws on Schaeffler’s long-standing development experience in complete clutch release systems, including the transition from mechanical to hydraulic operation. The LMC117 is a new replacement clutch master cylinder built for manual transmission service on 1984-1988 Chevrolet Corvette models.
