MAN 51303010013 Clutch Disc

Description

This is a MAN clutch plate, also known as a clutch disc, which is a critical component of the drivetrain. It's designed to connect and disconnect the engine's power to the transmission, allowing for smooth gear changes and vehicle operation. This disc facilitates the transfer of torque from the engine to the transmission, enabling the vehicle to move. The MAN clutch disc is engineered for durability and consistent performance, providing reliable engagement and disengagement. It's a key component in maintaining efficient power transfer and preventing drivetrain damage. The MPN for this clutch plate is 51303010013.

Key Features & Benefits

This thing basically connects the engine's power to the transmission, allowing you to smoothly transfer power to the wheels. It’s covered in friction material, kind of like brake pads, and that’s what actually grips the flywheel and pressure plate. When you push the clutch pedal, it disengages that connection, letting you shift gears. When you release it, it re – engages, sending power back to the wheels. It’s all about controlled engagement and disengagement. It’s a core part of your manual transmission system. Think of it as the link between the engine’s willingness to spin and the wheels actually moving the car. Without a functioning clutch disc, you wouldn’t be able to change gears or smoothly start and stop. Automatic transmissions don’t need this because they use a torque converter instead.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It's important because if this wears out, you’ll notice if it’s slipping – the engine will rev higher but the car won’t accelerate as it should. It acts like a shield protecting other parts of the drivetrain from excessive wear. If it fails completely, you won’t be able to engage the transmission at all. It’s one of those things that, when it’s good, you don't really think about it. When it goes bad, it’s pretty obvious and can lead to more expensive repairs if you ignore it. You can find a good replacement for your vehicle over at Fixparts Online, and they usually have a pretty good selection.
