RAM 2500 Truck 2WD L6-5.9L DSL Turbo VIN 7 (2001)
A 312.5 mm (12.3 inch) diameter clutch disc is used with diesel and V10 engines and (Fig. 6).
All the discs have damper springs in the hub. The 281 mm discs have four springs, the 312.5 mm diesel/ V10 disc has nine springs. The damper
springs provide smoother torque transfer and disc engagement.
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 flywheel and pressure plate to the input shaft of the transmission.
