Symptoms of a Worn Clutch

• Clutch slip — engine revs rise without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed, particularly under hard acceleration
• Difficulty selecting gears or gear changes feel notchy
• Clutch biting point has risen high towards the top of the pedal travel
• Judder or shudder when pulling away from a standstill

Complete Kit Contents

This kit includes all components required for a complete clutch replacement:

Replacing all three components simultaneously ensures balanced wear characteristics and avoids the risk of a partially worn component causing premature failure of a newly fitted part.

If you are carrying out a solid mass flywheel conversion at the same time, this clutch kit can be fitted simultaneously. Always replace flywheel bolts when removing the flywheel — see our Abarth 500/595 Flywheel Bolt (6 required per flywheel).
