Let’s cut to the chase—it’s not just some ordinary “metal cover” in your Lifan X60’s transmission system. It’s the clutch assembly’s
core part for transferring power and protection: a sturdy stamped steel component installed between the engine’s flywheel and the
clutch disc. As the top shell of the clutch system, it has built-in key parts that generate pressure, letting the engine and transmission connect or disconnect power. Think of it like a “power switch center”—when you press the clutch pedal, it works with the pressure plate and clutch disc to cut off the engine’s power so you can shift gears; when you let the pedal go, it clamps the disc tight to send power to the wheels. Without it, the clutch can’t engage properly—you won’t be able to shift gears at all, or you might even lose power suddenly.
This clutch cover is made specifically for the Lifan X60—always check your vehicle’s VIN to make sure it’s the
right fit! It’s designed to match the X60’s engine and transmission specifications: its diameter and the pattern of its mounting holes line up with the flywheel (so it’s fixed securely), the force from its internal pressure springs matches the clutch disc’s friction ability (for smooth engagement), and its structural strength can handle the X60’s engine torque (no bending or breaking under load). If you go for a cheap generic clutch cover, you’ll run into problems: wrong size (can’t install it), weak pressure (the clutch slips), or poor durability (cracks when used heavily).

This S1601100AAB clutch cover only works for Lifan X60 (manual transmission)—wrong fit = clutch failure:
Replacing the clutch cover involves disassembling the transmission and precise adjustment—DIY is extremely risky:
Vehicle prep: Techs lift the X60, remove the transmission, and access the clutch assembly (mounted on the engine flywheel).
Remove old cover: They unbolt the old clutch cover from the flywheel, remove the pressure plate and clutch disc, and clean the flywheel surface (removing rust or debris).
Install new cover: They align S1601100AAB with the flywheel’s locating pins, bolt it to Lifan’s exact torque specs (evenly tightened to avoid warping), then install the pressure plate and new clutch disc (recommended to replace disc with cover).
Reassemble & test: They reattach the transmission, bleed the clutch hydraulic system (if applicable), and test gear shifts—ensuring smooth engagement/disengagement with no slippage.
Inspect for wear/damage: Every 60,000km (or if clutch slippage occurs), have techs check the cover for cracks, warping, or spring fatigue—damaged parts cause clutch failure.
Check pressure consistency: If the clutch pedal feels too soft or hard, the cover’s springs may be weak or broken—replace the cover immediately.
Avoid clutch abuse: Don’t ride the clutch (keep foot off pedal when driving) or shift gears without fully pressing the pedal—this causes excessive heat and wears the cover’s contact surface.
Keep the system clean: Ensure no oil or grease leaks onto the clutch cover (from engine seals or transmission)—contamination reduces friction and causes slippage.

This clutch cover is a key part made just for Lifan X60 models with manual transmission—make sure to check your VIN to confirm it fits. It’s made of sturdy stamped steel and sits between the engine’s flywheel and the clutch disc, acting as a crucial piece of the clutch assembly that handles power transfer and protects internal parts.
It has three main jobs that are super important for how the car runs: First off, it sends engine power through. When the clutch is engaged (that’s when you let go of the clutch pedal), the pressure springs inside push the pressure plate against the clutch disc. This clamps the disc tight between the flywheel and pressure plate, passing the engine’s torque to the transmission’s input shaft. Second, it lets you shift gears smoothly. When you press the clutch pedal, the
release bearing kicks in, lifting the pressure plate away from the disc to cut off power flow—so you won’t hear that annoying grinding sound when shifting. Third, it protects the clutch’s inner parts. It works like a shield to keep dust, dirt, and oil off the clutch disc, pressure plate, and release mechanism, while also keeping the whole clutch assembly stable when it’s spinning fast.
It only fits Lifan X60 manual transmission versions, matching the car’s flywheel size, engine torque, and clutch specs. It won’t fit Lifan X60 automatic models, other Lifan cars (like the 520 or 620), or non-Lifan vehicles at all.
Putting it in needs certified mechanics—they’ll have to take apart the transmission, adjust the torque precisely, and it’s best to replace the clutch disc with a new one too. For regular upkeep, you should have it checked for cracks or warping every 60,000km, and don’t abuse the clutch (like resting your foot on the pedal while driving). Original parts are a must—cheaper aftermarket ones usually have shoddy materials and don’t fit right, which can make the clutch slip or even damage the transmission.
