The LuK 624371033 Clutch Kit is a high‑performance, factory‑approved replacement set designed for the clutch system of selected Ford, Mazda and Volvo vehicles. It delivers reliable engagement, smooth operation, and long service life under demanding driving conditions.

Key Components Included

• Clutch Disc (Plate) – Precision‑machined steel plate with a durable friction surface that matches the original specification for optimal torque transfer.
• Cover Plate – Strong, lightweight aluminum cover that protects the clutch assembly and provides mounting points for the pressure plate.
• Central Slave Cylinder (CSC) – Integrated hydraulic cylinder that replaces the original slave cylinder, ensuring consistent pressure delivery and reducing wear on the clutch fork.
• Pressure Plate – High‑strength steel plate with a matching friction surface to maintain proper clamping force across the entire disc area.
• Installation Hardware – Includes all necessary bolts, washers, and seals required for a complete, factory‑level installation.

Design & Engineering Excellence

The kit is engineered by LuK GmbH, a world leader in clutch technology. The components are manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring:

• Consistent Clutch Engagement – Precise alignment of the disc and pressure plate eliminates chatter and provides a smooth pedal feel.
• Extended Service Life – High‑quality materials resist wear and heat buildup, extending the lifespan compared to many aftermarket alternatives.
• Compatibility with Original Hydraulic Systems – The CSC is designed to fit seamlessly into the vehicle’s existing hydraulic circuit without modification.
• Reduced Maintenance Intervals – The integrated slave cylinder reduces the need for separate fluid checks and potential leaks.

Vehicle Compatibility

The kit is specifically calibrated for a range of models, including:

• Ford Focus (Mk2) – TDCi 1.6D, 2004‑2012
• Ford C‑Max – TDCi 1.6D, 2007‑2010
• Mazda 3 – 1.6D, 2004‑2013 (BK/BL variants)
• Volvo V50 – 1.6D, 2005‑2012
• Volvo C30 – 1.6D, 2006‑2012
• Volvo S40 – 1.6D, 2005‑2012

All models share a common clutch diameter of 240 mm and a 23‑tooth design, ensuring that the kit fits without modification to the transmission or engine components.

Installation Overview

1. Remove the Old Clutch Assembly – Detach the existing clutch disc, pressure plate, and slave cylinder from the transmission housing.
2. Install the New Cover Plate – Secure the cover plate to the transmission shell using the supplied bolts and washers.
3. Mount the Pressure Plate – Align the new pressure plate with the clutch fork, ensuring proper clearance for the CSC.
4. Insert the Clutch Disc – Place the disc onto the pressure plate, checking for even contact across the entire surface.
5. Attach the Central Slave Cylinder – Fit the CSC into its designated slot, connecting it to the hydraulic line and ensuring a leak‑free seal.
6. Reassemble & Test – Reinstall the transmission onto the engine, reattach all ancillary components, and perform a test drive to confirm smooth engagement and proper pedal feel.

Performance Benefits

• Improved Torque Transfer – The high‑quality friction material ensures efficient power delivery from engine to wheels.
• Enhanced Durability – Robust construction resists wear, heat, and vibration, reducing the likelihood of premature failure.
• Consistent Pedal Feel – The integrated CSC provides uniform pressure across the clutch disc, eliminating pedal chatter.
