MAN 85300011492 Clutch Disc

Description

This is a clutch disc, a critical component of the drivetrain system. It's designed to connect and disconnect the engine's power to the transmission, enabling smooth gear changes and vehicle control. This MAN clutch plate, with MPN 85300011492, features dimensions of 100 x 500 x 500 mm. Its robust construction enhances durability and performance, while the precise engineering ensures efficient power transfer and reduced drivetrain loss, contributing to a more responsive and efficient driving experience.

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.
