LuK 17 050 Clutch Set Review

Overall a great product but it looks like I have a rebuilt clutch (hence the lower price) and it did not come with a clutch alignment tool as advertised. Luckily I was able to install the clutch without it as the flywheel bolts are not evenly spaced and can only be bolted in one direction. For those getting the job done, make sure you have a clutch alignment tool, and I also recommend replacing the rear main seal while you're there. There is no point in disabling the transmission twice if it is

This is a great deal. Not the easiest installation (not a product defect). Supplied with the pressure plate bolted to the flywheel and the clutch clamped in the correct position. Just bolt it to the crank with the included bolts (need a long triple square drive to reach the crank bolts through the clutch). Seems to be a good stop. Easily modular. A lot of the reviews here mention these things and are probably worded better. This is a product that should last 200,000 miles. I won't wait that…

Great clutch kit for the money - was for the '01 Golf TDI. Very smooth pedaling and good grip for a slightly modified car. First my son although something was wrong as the pedal was lighter but he likes it. Installation is easy, but it's a bit heavy as it's fully assembled. Changed to 3 stars on the condition that I can solve the problem. I ordered my 2nd clutch and the release bearing was damaged - the tab holding it for the fork was missing. I'll either have to buy one locally or wait with my

My application 2006 "mk4” Jetta TDI (BEW engine) 330,000 km. I installed this new clutch myself within two weeks. It had everything I needed. The clutch was exactly the same as the OEM. It fits perfectly. It works perfectly. That made driving much easier. Smooth and fun. Much better than before with the crazy vibration between 1000-1500rpm that the old one had. I didn't have a car when it was new, but now I understand how it must have felt. The drama and replacement issues were mostly due to…

This clutch was a good fit for me, I installed it, it grips well engine code. AWPTransmission:02J I bought this clutch because I had previously installed an LUK kit from USPmotorsport without any problems. But this kit costs half and was visually similar. The reviews said it would fit MK4 with 1.8t 5 speed engine, so I decided to give it a try. 100 miles and the feel is the same as the previous clutch. Triple square down until it goes into the hole to get to the flywheel bolts. But if you have…

If you are thinking of installing a clutch in a car for a beginner this is a very good fit. The friction zone is slightly wider than a standard clutch, but becomes very severe when adjusted. My daughter had problems with the "grabbing" stock clutch in the Beetle 1.8T and often stopped at traffic lights, but she described it as a "cloudy clutch". The clutch release bearing was damaged in transit due to the flywheel bouncing around in the box. Also, mine didn't have a centering tool and I was…

Clutch assembly. Good price. Gotta love the design that allows easy access through the pressure plate fingers to the pre-installed screws with your long 12mm triple square drive (aka spline drive) like this one: Capri Tools 30068 12mm XZN 1/4" Triple Square Impact Tip 2" ride, extra long. This kit contains a fully assembled clutch (including the dual mass flywheel), throwout bearing and alignment tool (which you probably won't need unless you start by disassembling the unit). The normal picture
