Re: [doc] Clutch splines question... LUK Clutch



Hi Stian

The move by Renault from a 10 to 21 spline was to bring theirs in to
line with everyone else (except the american manufacturers, who
basically do what they want). It had nothing to do with DeLorean - the
25 and 30 also has two different clutches depending on age. You can't
just swap from one to the other - the gearbox has a different input shaft.

When I enquired some time ago, LuK only make the 21 spline one.
