If you install one of these s542 kits, make sure the rubber has a hole in it to vent the trans. Otherwise it will build pressure and push oil out the front seal onto your clutch and ruin it.
That's what the issue I had was not a defective Luk clutch.
I installed this diff vent to solve the problem. I have lots of them if folks want.
The s547 has a vent in this area. I'm guessing they back fit the boot and it caused the issue.please share.
