Dakota Quad Cab 2WD V8-4.7L VIN N (2001)
Clutch Disc: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The clutch disc friction material is riveted to the disc hub (Fig. 4). The hub bore is splined for installation on the transmission input shaft. The clutch
disc has cushion springs in the disc hub to dampen disc vibrations during application and release of the clutch.
OPERATION
The clutch disc is held onto the surface of the flywheel by the force exerted by the pressure plate's diaphragm spring. The friction material of the
clutch disc then transfers the engine torque from the fly-wheel and pressure plate to the input shaft of the transmission.
