1090373004 ZF OUTER CLUTCH DISC

The ZF 1090373004 clutch disc plays a crucial role in the operation of a manual transmission system, facilitating the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels. This component is used within the drivetrain to allow for smooth and controlled gear shifting. Manufactured in Germany, this disc is engineered for consistent performance and extended service life, ensuring optimal clutch engagement and disengagement. 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.
