FAQs
Is this kit compatible with all vehicle makes?
No, this is a specific part number (QKT2436AF). You must verify that your vehicle's make, model, and engine code match the catalog compatibility list.
Does this kit include a release bearing?
Please verify the specific contents of the QKT2436AF packaging, as kit inclusions can vary based on the specific vehicle application requirements.
Can I install this kit myself?
If you have professional automotive experience, the necessary lifting equipment, and a transmission jack, it is possible. Otherwise, professional installation is advised due to the complexity of transmission removal.
How long should a new clutch last?
Clutch longevity depends heavily on driving habits and environment, but a high-quality kit like Quinton Hazell's is designed to offer a long service life comparable to the original part.
Why is it important to replace the pressure plate with the disc?
They are designed as a matched set; reusing an old pressure plate with a new disc can lead to uneven wear and premature failure of the new clutch component.
Troubleshooting
Clutch pedal feels spongy or does not return
Check the hydraulic slave and master cylinder for leaks or air in the lines, as these are often misinterpreted as a faulty clutch kit.
Slipping during acceleration
Verify that the clutch linkage has the correct free-play and that no oil contamination has reached the friction material from a leaking rear main seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is critical for the lifespan of your clutch. Ensure that your vehicle's flywheel is inspected for signs of heat checking or scoring; resurfacing or replacing the flywheel is often necessary when installing a new clutch disc and pressure plate to ensure an even mating surface. Always use a clutch alignment tool during installation to prevent damage to the disc splines. For maintenance, avoid 'riding the clutch' and ensure your hydraulic or cable-actuated clutch system is properly bled or adjusted following the service.
