Detailed Description

LuK has been part of the evolution from mechanical to hydraulic clutch release systems, and that experience is reflected in the LSC440. This clutch slave cylinder is intended for manual transmission service on select Dodge Ram and Ram trucks, including 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 2500, 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 3500, 2005-2008 Dodge Ram 1500, and 2011-2012 Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 applications.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard or inconsistent clutch pedal engagement
• Hydraulic fluid leakage at the slave cylinder
• Difficulty disengaging the clutch
• Incomplete clutch release during shifting
• Pedal feel changes caused by worn hydraulic components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify transmission type and vehicle application before installation. This part is listed for N/A position fitment and should be matched to the exact year, make, model, and transmission configuration shown. Inspect the hydraulic system for contamination or air in the lines during replacement, and confirm proper bleeding after installation. For Ram and Dodge Ram trucks, confirm the clutch release system matches the original equipment layout before ordering LSC440.
