Detailed Product Description

The Luk LMC253 clutch master cylinder is a critical component in manual transmission systems, responsible for transferring the force from the clutch pedal to the clutch slave cylinder via hydraulic pressure. This part comes new and includes a push rod, which is essential for proper pedal engagement and clutch actuation.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

Compatibility should be verified with the vehicle’s service manual or parts catalog to confirm fitment with specific makes and models.
