The First Line Group (FLG) has introduced under its renowned Borg & Beck brand, a clutch guide tube \u2013 part number HKD0006 – that is compatible with 35 of its clutch kits for many popular PSA (Peugeot\/Citro\u00ebn) and FIAT group applications.<\/p>\n

\"B&B-Clutch-Guide-Tube\"<\/a>Although not officially deemed to be part of the clutch kit, FLG \u2018best practice\u2019 recommends that just as with concentric slave cylinder (CSC) replacement, the clutch guide tube is also replaced when the vehicle requires a replacement clutch.<\/p>\n

Replacing this guide tube at the same time as the clutch can not only save time and money in the long term, but can actually help to extend the life of the clutch, as the original guide tube will often be worn or damaged. Left unchanged, this can cause the release bearing to operate incorrectly or become misaligned, which can cause clutch operating problems, such as slipping, stiff operation or clutch control issues.<\/p>\n

It is also important that all the lubrication points in the clutch release system are correctly greased and checked for their correct operation, as both the lack of lubrication or excess grease build up can cause release problems.<\/p>\n

To ensure the amount and specification of the lubrication is correct, each Borg & Beck clutch kit comes complete with a sachet of grease, specifically designed for clutch spline and release systems.
\nThrough its Borg & Beck brand, FLG is the market leader when it comes to replacement CSC clutch kits with more than 400 part numbers in its comprehensive range. Allied to the fact that CSC clutches already represent almost 25% of the repair market, a figure that is set to continue to rise over the next few years, the brand is ideally placed to help factors and workshops satisfy this growing demand.<\/p>\n

In addition to the depth of its range, the brand has a well-earned reputation for quality, which means that each kit comes with a two-year warranty. However, in the unlikely event of a claim, FLG also has a market leading web portal to quickly and efficiently process and report on the claim.
\nDeveloped alongside its clutch testing\/development centre, the warranty portal will answer the claim within five days for a straightforward case, but even those that require a more detailed test report and the return of the components will be answered within 10 working days.<\/p>\n

Sometimes warranty claims highlight areas where the installation process needs greater explanation and for this reason, as well as its passion to encourage its customers to follow industry best practice, FLG offers technical training, which it has developed through its test centre and is presented through its onsite technical training centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
