Ford Ranger (tke) TDCI Clutch kit without central slave cylinder QKT4789AF

Get Ford Ranger (tke) TDCI Clutch kit without central slave cylinder QKT4789AF in Kenya

When it comes to efficient power transfer, reliable gear shifts, and durable performance, your vehicle’s clutch system plays a crucial role. The QKT4789AF Clutch Kit is a premium-grade replacement solution, specifically designed for vehicles that use an external slave cylinder system—not a concentric or central slave cylinder (CSC). Manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, this clutch kit offers a precise fit, long service life, and optimal driving experience for both commercial and private vehicles.

Whether you are conducting scheduled maintenance, performing a drivetrain upgrade, or replacing a worn-out clutch, the QKT4789AF delivers consistent performance, durability, and value for money. It is especially suited for vehicles operating in demanding environments, including heavy traffic, off-road, or utility conditions.

Kit Contents – QKT4789AF

The QKT4789AF clutch kit is a complete replacement set (excluding the central slave cylinder) and includes:

• Clutch Pressure Plate (Cover Assembly)

• Clutch Friction Disc (Drive Plate)

• Release Bearing (Throw-out Bearing)

• Alignment Tool (in selected packages)

It does not include a concentric slave cylinder, making it ideal for vehicles with:

• External slave cylinders

• Mechanical clutch linkage systems

• Conventional hydraulic clutch systems with separate actuation

Key Features of QKT4789AF Clutch Kit

1. Premium Clutch Disc

At the heart of the kit is a carefully engineered clutch disc featuring high-friction, heat-resistant materials. This disc is designed to:

• Minimize wear and tear

• Resist heat glazing under pressure

• Deliver reliable engagement and disengagement

• Handle torque effectively, even under heavy loads

The multi-layer friction surface ensures consistent grip with the flywheel and pressure plate, promoting smoother take-offs and longer service life.

2. Precision-Engineered Pressure Plate

The pressure plate in QKT4789AF is manufactured using high-strength steel with a balanced diaphragm spring design. Key benefits include:

• Even clamp force distribution

• Vibration damping for smooth operation

• Reliable pedal feel and return action

• Maintains friction integrity under repeated use

It is dynamically balanced to prevent judder or vibration during operation.

3. High-Quality Release Bearing

A robust throw-out bearing is included, ensuring quiet operation and smooth clutch disengagement. It’s built with sealed-for-life lubrication and high-precision roller bearings, reducing wear over time and delivering reliable performance with every clutch press.

Application and Vehicle Compatibility

The QKT4789AF clutch kit is compatible with a wide range of manual transmission vehicles that do not use a central slave cylinder. It is frequently used in utility vehicles, 4x4s, pickups, and certain commercial vans that require:

• External clutch slave systems

• Independent hydraulic actuation

• Durable and serviceable clutch components

Note: Vehicle compatibility should be confirmed using the VIN or part reference data. The QKT4789AF is typically cross-referenced with OE part numbers used in Toyota and Isuzu vehicles with external slave cylinder systems.

Why Choose a Clutch Kit Without a Central Slave Cylinder?

The design of the QKT4789AF makes it ideal for mechanics, garages, and fleet operators who value simplicity and serviceability. Here’s why it stands out:

Easier Installation & Servicing

• No need to access internal concentric slave cylinder (CSC) components inside the bellhousing.

• Straightforward replacement for pressure plate, disc, and release bearing.

Lower Maintenance Costs

• External clutch hydraulics are easier to inspect and replace.

• Reduces potential labor and parts costs in the long run.

Durability in Rugged Environments

• Well-suited for off-road or utility vehicles that encounter heavy dust, mud, or water ingress.

• Separate hydraulic systems allow independent replacement of master/slave components.

Improved Diagnostic Clarity

• If clutch pedal issues arise, it’s easier to test and isolate the problem (hydraulics vs mechanical).

• Quick replacement of failing parts without removing the transmission.

Installation Tips and Best Practices

To ensure maximum performance and longevity from your QKT4789AF clutch kit, follow these essential installation guidelines:

• Inspect Flywheel Surface
  Always check the flywheel for cracks, burns, or excessive wear. Resurfacing or replacement may be required for optimal clutch engagement.

• Replace or Service Pilot Bearing
  If your vehicle uses a pilot bearing (inside the crankshaft), it should be inspected or replaced.

• Check Clutch Hydraulic Components
  Inspect the master and slave cylinders for wear or fluid leaks, especially since the system is external and easily accessible.

• Use Correct Torque Settings
  Torque all clutch cover bolts to manufacturer specifications in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.

• Don’t Forget the Alignment Tool
  Use the alignment tool to properly center the clutch disc before reinstalling the transmission.

Performance and Longevity

The QKT4789AF clutch kit is designed for extended service life, with the ability to handle high mileage and consistent torque loads. Under normal operating conditions, drivers can expect between 80,000 km to 150,000 km of effective service before requiring replacement.

Its durable friction surfaces and high-tensile springs are ideal for:

• Stop-and-go traffic

• Towing or hauling

• Highway cruising

• Off-road terrain

Quality You Can Trust

Each QKT4789AF clutch kit is manufactured in ISO/TS-certified facilities and undergoes rigorous quality control checks before packaging. Benefits include:

• OE fit and function

• Noise-free engagement

• High torque capacity

• Reliable heat dissipation

Trusted by professional mechanics, parts resellers, and 4×4 enthusiasts, this clutch kit represents an ideal blend of affordability and quality.
