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
• Burning smell after spirited driving

Complete Kit Contents

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

• Clutch disc (friction plate)
• Pressure plate assembly
  

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.

This clutch kit is compatible with both the standard OEM dual mass flywheel (DMF) and our Abarth 500/595 Solid Mass Flywheel. 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).
