Let’s get straight to it—this isn’t just a “metal cover” in your Lifan X60’s engine bay. It’s the
core power-transmitting and protective component of the clutch assembly: a heavy-duty stamped steel part exclusively engineered for Lifan X60 models equipped with the LFB479Q engine. Mounted between the engine’s flywheel and
clutch disc, it serves as the upper shell of the clutch system, integrating pressure-generating components to control power transfer between the engine and manual transmission. Think of it as a “power switch hub”—when you press the clutch pedal, it collaborates with the pressure plate and disc to cut off engine power for smooth gear shifts; when released, it clamps the disc tightly to transmit torque to the wheels. Without it, the clutch can’t engage properly, making gear changes impossible or causing sudden power loss.
This clutch cover is
tailor-made for Lifan X60 with LFB479Q engine—always confirm your vehicle’s VIN to ensure a perfect fit! It’s calibrated to the X60’s powertrain specs: its diameter and mounting hole pattern align with the LFB479Q engine’s flywheel (for secure fixation), its internal pressure
spring force matches the clutch disc’s friction capacity (for stable engagement), and its structural strength withstands the engine’s maximum torque (no deformation under load). Opt for generic clutch covers? You’ll face issues: mismatched size (can’t install), weak pressure (clutch slippage), or poor durability (cracking during heavy use).
As a vital part of the X60’s manual transmission system, it undertakes three key roles to ensure reliable driving:
Transmit engine torque: When the clutch is engaged (pedal released), the cover’s internal pressure springs push the pressure plate against the clutch disc. This clamps the disc between the flywheel and pressure plate, transferring the LFB479Q engine’s torque to the transmission input shaft.
Enable smooth gear shifts: Pressing the clutch pedal activates the release bearing, which pushes the cover’s diaphragm/pressure springs to lift the pressure plate off the disc. This disconnects power flow, allowing gear changes without grinding or damage to transmission gears.
Protect internal clutch parts: Acting as a protective shell, it shields the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release mechanism from dust, debris, and oil contamination. It also maintains the clutch assembly’s structural stability during high-speed engine operation.

This LFB479Q 1601100B4 clutch cover only fits Lifan X60 with LFB479Q engine (manual transmission)—wrong fit leads to clutch failure:
Replacing the clutch cover requires disassembling the transmission and precise calibration—DIY is extremely risky:
Vehicle prep: Techs lift the X60, drain engine oil (if needed), and remove the transmission to access the clutch assembly (mounted on the flywheel).
Remove old cover: They unbolt the old clutch cover, take out the pressure plate and disc, and clean the flywheel surface (removing rust/debris).
Install new cover: They align LFB479Q 1601100B4 with the flywheel’s locating pins, bolt it to Lifan’s exact torque specs (evenly tightened to avoid warping), then install the new pressure plate and clutch disc (recommended to replace disc together).
Test run: After reassembling the transmission, techs test gear shifts to ensure smooth engagement/disengagement and check for abnormal noises.
Inspect for wear/damage: Every 60,000km, have techs check the cover for cracks, warping, or spring fatigue—damaged parts cause clutch slippage.
Avoid clutch abuse: Don’t “ride the clutch” (keep foot off the pedal while driving) or shift gears without fully pressing the pedal—this causes overheating and wears the cover’s contact surface.
Use recommended engine oil: Ensure oil meets Lifan’s specs for the LFB479Q engine. Poor-quality oil can damage the clutch’s lubrication system, affecting the cover’s operation.

This is an exclusive core component of the clutch assembly for Lifan X60 with LFB479Q engine (manual transmission) (confirm VIN for fitment). Made of heavy-duty stamped steel, it’s mounted between the engine flywheel and clutch disc, serving as the clutch system’s upper shell.
Its key functions: Transfer the LFB479Q engine’s torque to the transmission via clamping the clutch disc when engaged; enable smooth gear shifts by disconnecting power flow when the clutch pedal is pressed; protect internal clutch parts from contamination and maintain structural stability at high speeds.
It only fits Lifan X60 with LFB479Q engine (manual), incompatible with X60 auto variants, other Lifan models (e.g., 520, 620), or non-Lifan vehicles. Installation requires certified techs; maintain by inspecting for wear and avoiding clutch abuse. Original parts are essential to prevent slippage or damage.
