FAQs
What vehicles is the Blue Print ADR163056 Clutch Kit compatible with?
Compatibility must be confirmed using the 'make model tool' available on the product listing or by contacting customer support with your vehicle's specific details (make, model, year, engine size).
What does 'three-piece kit' mean for this clutch?
It means the kit includes the essential components for a full clutch replacement: the clutch cover (pressure plate), the clutch plate, and the concentric slave cylinder (CSC).
Why is the concentric slave cylinder (CSC) included?
The CSC is an integral part of the hydraulic clutch system that actuates the clutch. Including it ensures a critical wear item is replaced along with the clutch plate and cover, promoting reliability.
What are the dimensions of the clutch plate?
The clutch plate has an outer diameter of 220mm and features 26 teeth.
Is synthetic grease necessary for installation?
Yes, the kit includes synthetic grease, which should be applied to specific contact points, such as the transmission input shaft splines and the release bearing, to ensure smooth operation and prevent noise.
Where can I find installation instructions?
Service information, including documents and graphics, is available for download to guide the installation process.
Do I need to break in the new clutch?
Yes, it is generally recommended to follow a break-in procedure for new clutches to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Consult the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations or the provided service information.
Troubleshooting
Clutch pedal feels soft or spongy
Check the hydraulic clutch system for leaks and ensure the concentric slave cylinder (CSC) is correctly installed and bled. Verify clutch fluid levels.
Difficulty shifting gears after installation
Ensure the clutch plate is oriented correctly (if marked) and fully engages with the flywheel and pressure plate. Re-bleed the hydraulic system.
Clutch slipping or not engaging properly
Confirm that the correct torque specifications were used for the pressure plate bolts. Ensure no grease has contaminated the clutch plate friction surface.
Noise from the clutch area
Verify that synthetic grease was applied to the appropriate contact points (input shaft, release bearing). Check for any loose components or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, it is critical to verify that the Blue Print ADR163056 Clutch Kit is compatible with your specific vehicle make, model, and year. Utilize the provided make model tool on the product page or contact customer support with your vehicle details to confirm fitment. Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic experienced with clutch system replacements. Ensure the flywheel surface is clean and within tolerance. Apply the supplied synthetic grease sparingly to the transmission input shaft splines and the contact points of the clutch release bearing. Follow any specific service instructions provided in the downloadable documents. After installation, allow a break-in period as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer or the clutch kit documentation to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Regular maintenance typically involves checking clutch fluid levels if applicable to the hydraulic system, and no specific cleaning of the clutch components themselves is required during normal operation.
