If you have to fit a new Ford 6 speed DPS6/6DCT250 twin-plate dry clutch you will find that the new replacement clutch pack is supplied with transit hooks which are built-in and specially set.

However, if you have to remove and refit an existing clutch pack, then these transport hooks will need to be reset before the unit is refitted to the gearbox.

The dual clutch retractor kit from Laser Tools is designed (when used in accordance with Ford instructions) to reset these transport hooks.

Applications include Ford Transit Connect (from 2014), Fiesta (from 2008), Focus (From 2010) and the B-Max (from 2012).

After the clutch pack has been refitted the clutch actuators must also be reset — the Laser 8036 1/4″ drive splined bit socket is used for this (equivalent to OEM 307-677).

Applications include: Ford Focus (from 2012), Fiesta (from 2008), B-Max (from 2012) and EcoSport (from 2013).

Laser Tools also supply their DCT clutch removal kit (part number 7727) and seal replacement kit (part number 7821), offering the technician working on these Ford twin-plate dry clutch gearboxes a full range of special tools to correctly carry out the job.

These are available now from your Laser Tools stockists.
