MAN 81981806063 clutch

Description

This clutch is a critical component within the drivetrain system, responsible for transmitting engine power to the transmission, enabling smooth gear changes and controlled vehicle movement. It is used in MAN vehicles to connect and disconnect the engine from the wheels. This MAN clutch, with MPN 81981806063, is designed for durability and consistent performance, offering improved reliability and a longer service life. Its dimensions are 21 x 21 x 55 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

The clutch basically connects and disconnects the engine's power from the wheels. It allows you to smoothly start moving from a stop, shift gears, and come to a stop without stalling. It does this using friction – a disc or discs press together to transfer the engine’s rotation, and when you press the clutch pedal, it separates them, interrupting that connection. There’s a lot going on inside with pressure plates, release bearings, and sometimes a flywheel too, all working together. Think of it as the link between the engine – where the power is – and the transmission, which gets that power to the wheels. Without it, the engine would be constantly trying to turn the wheels, even when you don’t want it to. It allows you to control the flow of power. It’s a key part of a manual transmission vehicle, naturally, and even some automatic transmissions use a variation of a clutch internally.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

A worn or failing clutch will cause a lot of problems. You’ll notice if it starts slipping – the engine will rev up, but the car won’t accelerate as it should. It acts like a shield protecting the transmission, so when it wears out, that protection goes away. It can make shifting really rough, or even impossible. Ignoring clutch issues usually leads to bigger, more expensive repairs down the road, potentially even transmission damage.
