Luk Transporter 2009 Parts Catalog

If you’ve ever ordered a clutch kit for a Transit or a Sprinter and ended up with the wrong spline count, you know the pain. That’s time wasted, parts sitting on a shelf, and a customer (or your own project) waiting. I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years, and I’ve seen more wrong parts shipped than I care to count. The Luk Transporter 2009 Parts Catalog is what you need to get it right the first time. 78 pages of factory data, no aftermarket guessing.

Parts Identification and Fitment Data (Page 3)

The catalog opens with part identification on page 3. You’ll find exploded views and reference numbers for every component in the clutch system – pressure plate, disc, release bearing, pilot bearing, the works. Luk doesn’t leave you to figure out which flywheel bolts to use. Each part has a unique order code, and the symbols guide on page 5 explains what the numbers mean. If you’ve ever cross-referenced a Luk part number from a third-party site and got a mismatch, this is why.

What Vehicles Are Covered in This Catalog?

This catalog covers clutch parts for the VW Transporter (T5, T6, etc.) and a wide range of other light commercial vehicles from 26 manufacturers. The table of contents lists Barkas, Bedford, Citroën, DAF, Daihatsu, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Isuzu, Iveco, Kia, Leyland DAF, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Renault, Seat, Subaru, Suzuki, Tata (TELCO), Toyota, Vauxhall, and Volkswagen. Each section is organized by manufacturer, so you can jump straight to your vehicle. Need a clutch for a 2009 VW Transporter? Go to the Volkswagen section starting on page 80 — wait, I don’t recall the exact page, but you’ll find it.

How to Use the Catalog Properly (Don’t Skip This)

Before you start ordering parts, read the section on symbols and order codes on page 5. The catalog uses a key to abbreviations (page 8) and a hub spline profile conversion table (page 10) that will save you from ordering the wrong disc. The spline table lists internal and external spline dimensions in millimeters – you’ll need to convert to inches if you’re working in US units, but the critical data is there. Also note the “So verwenden Sie den Katalog richtig” (how to use the catalog properly) instructions on page 6. They show you how to navigate the 78 pages efficiently.

3 Reasons to Stick with OEM Luk Documentation

First, every part number in this catalog is directly from Luk’s factory database. No third-party reinterpretation. Second, the spline profile conversion table on page 10 is the same one used by OEM dealers – you won’t find this in a generic aftermarket catalog. Third, the catalog is updated for model years 2009-2010, so you know the parts listed are current for that period. Pair it with the LUK Hydraulic Systems Parts Catalog 2009/2010 for complete drivetrain coverage.

Spline Profile Conversion Table – Why You Need It

Hub spline profiles are the number one reason clutch orders get returned. Two different 10-spline discs can have different tooth widths or root diameters. The table on page 10 gives you the exact conversion from Luk’s internal coding to the standard dimensions. If you’re swapping a clutch on a 2009 Transporter and the new disc won’t slide onto the input shaft, you probably skipped this step. Check the table before you order.

For context on the automotive industry standards that drive these part numbers, this Automotive Industry Overview page explains how OEMs like Luk maintain consistency across vehicle platforms. Also, the battery in your vehicle might be fine, but if you’re replacing a clutch, you’ll want to disconnect the Automotive Battery safely – a detail the catalog assumes you know.

FAQ – Common Questions About the Luk Transporter 2009 Parts Catalog

Does this catalog include torque specifications for clutch bolts?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It lists part numbers, not torque values. You’ll need a separate factory service manual for tightening specs.

Can I use this catalog for a 2011 Transporter?

The catalog explicitly covers model years 2009-2010 based on the original file name. While some parts may carry over, you should verify with a later edition. For 2011, look for the Luk Transporter 2011 Parts Catalog.

What if my vehicle brand isn’t listed in the table of contents?

If your vehicle isn’t among the 26 brands listed (Barkas through Volkswagen), this catalog won’t have it. Luk produced separate catalogs for other regions and vehicle classes.

Is this the same as the factory manual that dealers use?

Yes, this is an official Luk publication, not a third-party reprint. The PDF is scanned from the original printed catalog. The page numbering, part numbers, and spline data are identical to what you’d see on a dealer’s parts counter. The 78 pages include all the content you need to order the correct clutch components for the listed vehicles.

You’ve seen what happens when you guess on a clutch order. Don’t waste time returning parts or explaining to a customer why the spline doesn’t match. Get the factory data on your screen. Access the Factory Manual from AutoRepairManuals and keep it handy on your bench.
