FAQs
Does this kit include a release bearing?
No, the ADR163044 kit consists of the pressure plate and clutch disc only.
How do I know if this fits my car?
You must cross-reference your vehicle's VIN or transmission model against the ADR163044 part number in your vehicle's service catalog.
What is the purpose of the included synthetic grease?
The grease is specifically for lubricating the input shaft splines to ensure the clutch disc moves freely during operation.
Can I install this on a performance-tuned engine?
This kit is designed for standard vehicle operation; using it with significantly higher torque output than the vehicle was designed for may lead to premature failure.
Should I resurface the flywheel?
Yes, it is highly recommended to resurface or replace the flywheel to ensure a flat mating surface for the new clutch, preventing vibration and slippage.
Troubleshooting
Clutch pedal feels spongy or soft after installation
Ensure the hydraulic system is properly bled to remove all trapped air bubbles.
Difficulty shifting into gears
Check that the clutch disc was centered correctly during installation and verify the clutch cable or hydraulic slave cylinder is properly adjusted.
Chirping or squealing noise when pressing the pedal
Inspect the release bearing and ensure the pivot points are properly lubricated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, use a digital service manual to confirm that the ADR163044 part number corresponds to your vehicle's transmission code.
- Preparation: Ensure the flywheel is inspected or resurfaced before installing the new plate to prevent premature wear.
- Installation: Apply the provided synthetic grease sparingly to the input shaft splines; do not over-grease, as excess lubricant can contaminate the friction surface.
- Alignment: Use a clutch alignment tool to center the disc perfectly before tightening the pressure plate bolts.
- Care: Avoid aggressive "riding the clutch" habits after installation to extend the service life of the new components.
