MAN N1011009967 clutch pressure plate

Description

The MAN clutch pressure plate is a vital component of a vehicle's clutch system, responsible for clamping the clutch disc to the flywheel, transmitting engine power to the transmission, and enabling smooth gear changes. This pressure plate is used within the drivetrain of compatible vehicles. Engineered for durability and performance, this pressure plate provides consistent clamping force for reliable engagement and disengagement, contributing to a longer clutch lifespan and improved driving experience. It measures 140 x 475 x 475 mm and has the manufacturer's part number N1011009967.

Key Features & Benefits

This thing basically squeezes the clutch disc against the flywheel. Think of it like a strong hand clamping down. It uses spring pressure to create friction – that friction is what transfers the engine’s power to the transmission, getting your car moving. It disengages when you press the clutch pedal, relieving that pressure and letting you shift gears. It’s a pretty simple concept, but crucial. It’s a core part of your clutch system, right along with the clutch disc and throw – out bearing. Without a functioning pressure plate, you won't be able to properly engage or disengage the engine from the wheels. It's part of what allows you to smoothly start, stop, and change gears. It’s all about controlled power transfer.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, it's important because if this part fails, you won’t be able to get the engine to connect to the wheels properly. You’ll notice if it’s going bad— things like a slipping clutch, difficulty getting into gear, or even a chattering sound when you engage the clutch. It’s one of those things you really don’t want to ignore. A failing pressure plate can lead to complete clutch failure, leaving you stranded. We carry a good selection of these over at Fixparts Online, by the way, and it’s something a lot of people tackle as a DIY job if they’re comfortable with working on cars. Replacing it usually means replacing the clutch disc and throw – out bearing too, just to be safe and get everything working smoothly together.
