Complete Repair
Complete clutch repair is diagnosing the cause, fixing the problem and examining and replacing all worn and damaged components.
Component parts incur wear. Some adjust their operating points to compensate for normal wear in disc friction material. The service life of clutch components is not infinite. “As-new” performance can be expected when LuK RepSet® components are installed.
Examination and replacement of all worn clutch system components is critical to ensure the full service life of the clutch and disc.
When the vehicle is pulled into the shop for repair, the first thing that should be done is to check for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). Sometimes there may be a bulletin that has information regarding clutch system issues and may have updated information and parts to fix the problem.
If no TSB’s are found, start by checking all the external parts related to the clutch system before removing components for further diagnosis of the clutch related problem.
