Installation Notes

Installation requires removing the transmission to access the clutch, which is typically a job for experienced mechanics or a qualified shop. Make sure to inspect your flywheel surface and pilot bearing during installation, as worn components can cause premature clutch failure. The dual stage design requires proper adjustment for optimal performance, so follow torque specifications and adjustment procedures carefully. This is the perfect time to replace your clutch disc and inspect related components while everything’s accessible.
