FAQs
What components are included in the ADR163082 kit?
This kit includes a pressure plate, a clutch disc, and specialized synthetic grease for installation.
Does this kit include a release bearing?
No, this is a two-piece assembly (pressure plate and clutch disc). Please check your specific vehicle requirements if a new release bearing or slave cylinder is needed.
What is the diameter and tooth count?
The pressure plate has a 240mm outer diameter and the disc features 21 teeth.
Why is the SMARTFIT technology important?
SMARTFIT allows the pressure plate to automatically adjust its internal springs to compensate for disc wear, keeping the pedal effort consistent throughout the life of the clutch.
Can I install this myself?
While technically possible for advanced hobbyists, professional installation is highly recommended due to the sensitivity of the self-adjusting clutch mechanism.
How reliable is this clutch kit?
Blue Print components have a global warranty claim rate of just 0.039%, reflecting high manufacturing quality and durability.
Troubleshooting
Clutch pedal feels abnormally stiff after installation
Verify the self-adjusting mechanism was not pre-loaded or triggered incorrectly during the pressure plate installation process.
Slippage under load
Check that the clutch disc was oriented correctly during installation and ensure the flywheel surface was cleaned of all shipping oils.
Difficulty shifting gears
Ensure that the clutch system is properly bled and that the release mechanism is moving through its full, intended travel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper performance, verify that the transmission input shaft splines are free of debris and damage before mounting the clutch disc. Always use the included synthetic grease sparingly on the input shaft splines to prevent binding. Because this kit utilizes a self-adjusting clutch (SAC) mechanism, it is critical to use proper alignment tools during installation to avoid pre-loading the adjuster, which could lead to premature failure. We recommend cleaning the flywheel surface thoroughly to remove any glazing or contaminants before installing the new pressure plate. Always inspect the flywheel for heat spots or cracks, as these can compromise the life of the new clutch kit.
