CLUTCH KIT 2P NEW 430 O.E. – MERCEDES

The clutch system is made up of five major components, the flywheel, pressure plate, friction disc, throw out bearing & release system.

A flywheel, directly connected to the crankshaft, spins when the engine moves. A pressure plate is connected to the flywheel & is spring loaded, performing two roles, maintaining the unity of the clutch assembly & releases tension, allowing the clutch assembly to move freely.

The clutch disc is located between the pressure plate & flywheel, containing friction surfaces on both sides, allowing to build or break contact with the flywheel or pressure plate to allow a smooth operation of these parts.
