Installation Notes and Tips

Installation instructions are included. Because this unit is not pre-filled or pre-bled, the hydraulic system must be filled and bled after installation. The push rod is included, and the part is supplied without a clutch slave cylinder, so inspect the rest of the clutch hydraulic system before reassembly. Verify vehicle fitment by year and model before ordering LMC581.
