Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Does this clutch require reusing any stock hardware? A: The clutch is designed to mount with the standard retaining hardware on the listed Defender models, and the included puller helps remove the original unit during the swap.

Q: Do I need to re-shim or adjust belt deflection after install? A: Belt deflection should be checked after fitting any new primary clutch, since sheave wear on the old unit may have changed the original setting.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
