What it does
Slipping, chatter or a high engagement point mean the clutch is worn. Drivetrain parts carry power from the engine to the wheels; noise, vibration, slipping or leaks are the usual signs a part is due.
Installation & tips
- Resurface or replace the flywheel and follow the break-in instructions for the new clutch.
- Flywheel: A worn flywheel shortens clutch life.
- Rear main seal: Easy to replace while the transmission is out.
- Work on a cool engine with the vehicle secured, and use a service manual for your vehicle for torque specs and procedures.
