Here’s our installation notes to help you get the job done
Essential Pre-installation Dos:
Diagnose the clutch malfunction before prior to replacement.
Use this checklist:
Is the hydraulic system properly functioning?
When the old clutch is being removed, are there oil leaks and any signs of red dust?
Are cracks on the clutch release fork?
Are there stretch signs on the clutch cable?
Any wearing on release bearing guide tube?
Anything wrong with the spigot bearing or the pilot bush? There is? Replace it.
Any shipping damage on the clutch?
Basically, ensure that the above mentioned parts function well and do not have problems. Malfunctions, including wear and tear and breakage, must be properly addressed (corrected, replaced) before installing a new clutch.
Installation notes:
IMPORTANT REMINDER:
-
Use only the specified clutch. Malfunctions may result from using clutches that are not correct for the application. When in doubt: check either our online catalogue or contact our customer service for further clarification and guidance.
-
Flywheel must be replaced or machined.
-
1. When fitting the clutch, mind the shaft splines, clutch disk, and bell housing.
 |
Clean the gearbox main drive shaft splines and ensure that the clutch disc slides freely on the shaft. |
 |
LIGHTLY grease the shaft splines with high temperature grease. Using too much grease may contaminate the clutch plate/disc. |
 |
Clean the bell housing: degrease, dust off and remove worn clutch fibres. |
-
2. Ensure that bearing carrier functions properly:
 |
Lightly lubricate the outside diameter of the tube to allow the bearing carrier to smoothly slide. |
 |
Check the bearing on clutch release fork after installing the bearing on it and make sure it is placed securely. Move the fork forwards and backwards if nothing falls, then we are good to refit the gearbox. |
-
3. Ensure correct pressure plate-clutch disc alignment.

5. Finishing up
 |
Check the clutch cable if you are unable to obtain disengagement when a new clutch is fitted. |
 |
Replace the cable and examine where the disengagement issue comes from. |
 |
If it is a hydraulic clutch start by checking the clutch master cylinder and the clutch slave cylinder. Make sure that there is no air in the system and that nothing blocking the compensating port. This is essential to obtain maximum travel for disengagement. |
