Full details

FAQs

What is included in this 3-piece kit?

The kit includes a pressure plate, a clutch disc, and a release bearing.

How do I confirm if this fits my vehicle?

Verify your vehicle's make and model against the OEM part numbers 068 198 141 or 068 198 141 DX.

Do I need to replace the flywheel?

While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to inspect the flywheel and resurface or replace it to ensure even wear and longevity of the new clutch.

Is this kit suitable for racing applications?

This kit is designed as an OEM replacement for standard road use; it may not be suitable for high-horsepower race applications.

Does this kit require a break-in period?

Yes, it is best to avoid aggressive driving and high-load maneuvers for the first 300 to 500 miles to allow the friction material to bed in properly.

Troubleshooting

Clutch pedal feels spongy or unresponsive

Ensure the hydraulic system is properly bled to remove air pockets.

Difficulties shifting into gear

Verify that the clutch disc was aligned correctly and the input shaft splines are free of debris.

Premature slipping

Check for oil contamination on the disc and verify that the flywheel was properly cleaned and resurfaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Genuine OEM quality and reliability
  • Comprehensive 3-piece set replaces all essential wear items
  • Designed for consistent torque transfer
  • Matches OEM specifications (068 198 141 and 068 198 141 DX)

Cons

  • Requires professional installation for optimal safety
  • Specific compatibility limitations based on transmission type
  • Does not include alignment tools in the base kit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning installation, cross-reference your vehicle's VIN or transmission model against the OEM part numbers 068 198 141 and 068 198 141 DX. Proper setup requires the use of a professional clutch alignment tool to center the disc before torquing the pressure plate to factory specifications. It is recommended to resurface or replace the flywheel during installation to ensure the new friction material seats correctly. Always inspect the pilot bearing and rear main seal while the transmission is removed, as replacing these while accessible can prevent future premature clutch failure.
