Need help on the Luk clutch

[Jack B]

In last week's post relative to the Luk clutch, did someone say that the alignment tool and the throwout bearing were not Viper compatible? If so, is there a readily available alignment tool available.

I ordered my new clutch from Roe Racing...from his website...


Complete original equipment clutch assembly, includes pressure plate, friction disc, throw-out bearing, pilot bearing and installation tool. Fits all years.

I already have the Luk package and the parts are the same as Sean's package description. i thought someone posted last week that the install tool didn't work.

Jack,

I had a LUK clutch put in last week. The throwout bearing is different--We put my stock one back in as it was in good shape even with 31K miles. The alignment tool was wrong. The mechanic had a generic alignment tool which worked just fine. I am told any auto parts store sells these generic tools.

From what I am told, the throwout bearing will work, but unlike the factory unit which is the entire assembly, this one must be installed on the slave cylinder.

Tom FL detailed the procedure a while back.

The throwout bearing worked for me. No problems. The pilot tool was too small in diameter to fit the pilot bearing properly. I modified it by adding material to the diameter and it worked okay.
