Review on Optimized for Search: Schaeffler LuK OEM Clutch Replacement Kit 04-228 RepSet Clutch Kit by Francisco Russell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A good replacement for the original clutch and pressure plate. Bad slave cylinder.

Worked great for 5 minutes. Then there was a strong depressurization noise and the clutch pedal lost all resistance and would not release the pressure plate. Looked under the car and found that the entire brake fluid reservoir had drained to the ground through the flywheel inspection hole at the bottom of the bell housing. The seal on the working cylinder failed and could no longer hold the pressure. This is not a fun bug as the slave cylinder is in the transmission bell housing and the transmission needs to disengage. I ended up reinstalling the old slave cylinder as the release bearing was still in good condition and I haven't had any problems since.
