Clutch disc assembly for Mitsubishi FV 315 (HRL)

The clutch disc assembly is a component of the manual transmission system designed to transfer torque from the engine to the gearbox. It functions by engaging and disengaging the engine from the transmission, which allows the operator to change gears and bring the vehicle to a stop while the engine remains running. This assembly works in conjunction with the pressure plate and flywheel to manage power delivery.

This specific component, part number ME550813, is designed for the Mitsubishi FV 315 (HRL) truck. It features a splined hub that connects to the transmission input shaft and includes torsion springs to manage rotational movement. The dimensions and friction surface are configured to meet the requirements of the Mitsubishi drivetrain system.

In heavy machinery and trucks, the clutch disc is responsible for the transfer of power from the engine to the transmission input shaft. By providing a friction interface, it allows for controlled engagement, which is necessary for starting the vehicle from a stationary position and shifting gears during operation. Proper alignment and fitment of this disc are required for the transmission to function within the intended parameters of the drivetrain.
