Compatible with corresponding original single-mass (Y60) and dual-mass (Y61) flywheels, as well as certain Xtreme Outback single-mass flywheel conversions, subject to verification of mounting geometry and flywheel condition.
Package Contents
- EXEDY reinforced 250 mm pressure plate
- EXEDY 250 mm clutch disc with reinforced friction linings
- KOYO Nissan Patrol Y61-type release bearing
- OE Nissan crankshaft pilot bushing
- SACHS lubricant for the clutch release mechanism
Installation
- Verify compatibility with the flywheel, clutch disc and release mechanism before installation
- The flywheel contact surface must be flat, uniform and free from wear steps
- For single-mass flywheels (SMF), professional inspection and resurfacing are recommended where necessary, while preserving correct installation geometry and dimensions
- For dual-mass flywheels (DMF), inspect the contact surface and internal mechanism; some workshops perform light resurfacing, but this may conflict with manufacturer instructions
- Apply the supplied lubricant only to the appropriate release mechanism contact points, avoiding contamination of friction surfaces
Important - RD28 flywheel: This kit uses a 250 mm clutch disc instead of the original 240 mm disc. A wear step left by the previous disc may prevent proper seating of the replacement disc. Check the entire flywheel contact surface, including the additional area covered by the larger disc.
Important - Y60 release bearing: The kit includes a Y61-type KOYO release bearing, also used in compatible Y60 configurations. The smaller original bearing found on certain Y60 versions may produce rattling at idle when the clutch pedal is released. The supplied bearing does not guarantee elimination of all drivetrain noise.
Important - DMF resurfacing: Any resurfacing of a dual-mass flywheel must be assessed individually by a specialist workshop. Certain manufacturers prohibit the procedure. If the customer elects to proceed, the work is undertaken at the customer's request and responsibility, following acknowledgment of the risks. Resurfacing does not guarantee safe or correct clutch operation.
