5.50050 DT Clutch disc

This Clutch Disc by DT is a key component in the drivetrain system, used to transfer rotational force from the engine to the transmission. With its robust design and precise engineering, it ensures smooth engagement and disengagement of power. The clutch disc offers improved acceleration and deceleration performance, reducing wear on other components and enhancing overall driving experience. Clutch discs are circular friction plates integral to manual transmission vehicles, positioned between the engine flywheel and pressure plate. Their primary function is to transmit engine torque to the transmission input shaft when engaged, enabling gear changes. Core construction utilizes a steel center hub splined to the input shaft, faced with friction material riveted or bonded to both sides. Dampening springs or torsional dampers are commonly incorporated to mitigate driveline vibrations and noise. Variations exist based on spline count, diameter, friction material composition, and damping technology, dictated by vehicle and transmission specifications.
