Installation notes
Install with light press fit into the crankshaft. Lightly grease the inside with high-temperature grease for initial lubrication. Check the fit on the transmission input shaft before assembly — too tight or too loose can lead to premature wear. Always replace during a clutch overhaul.
Compatibility
Note: different engine types use different crankshaft bush dimensions. Check the diameter of your transmission input shaft and the bore in the crankshaft before ordering. Not all bushes are universally applicable.
