clutch disc

It has a cover in the bell housing that lets you change the clutch disc without taking off the gearbox.

The clutch disc also increased in size, and changes were made to the flywheel, braking system, and rear axle.

This results in the clutch disc slipping against the flywheel and some engine power not being transferred to the drive train and wheels.

Sintered clutch discs are predominantly used for heavy-duty trucks, vessels, tractors and other agricultural machines.

The engine camshaft was driven by a Bevel,which gave power to multiple dry clutch discs and a 4-speed gearbox to the rear wheels.

As the car utilized a wet clutch, this condition could also occur in cold weather, where the thickened oil prevents the clutch discs from slipping freely.

Although this slight pressure is not enough to allow the clutch disc itself to slip, it is enough to keep the release bearing against the release springs.

Transmission: clutch disc or semi-automatic (Jaeger electromagnetic coupler) or ZF automatic.

While mostly chrysotile asbestos fibers were once used in automobile brake pads, shoes, and clutch discs, contaminants of amphiboles were present.

The transmission also included a system similar to modern disk brakes that clamped the clutch disc for braking, rather than using a separate system as in most cars.

However, if the clutch is released slowly the clutch disc will "slip" against the flywheel; this friction permits the engine a smoother transition to its new rotation speed.

The manual transmission (case code designation: AOR) featured a higher friction clutch disc setup, and an external cooler, and also featured a limited slip differential with a 40% lockup setting.

In Auto mode the new software algorithms allowed the multi-disc clutch pack's friction and clutch discs to slip as needed, simulating a planetary or bevel geared center differential, making a geared differential redundant.

The current Mustang GT also comes equipped with a limited slip differential complete with the same carbon-fiber clutch discs used in the 2003 to 2004 SVT Cobra and the 2007 Shelby GT500.

Company officials say in T.S.B. No. 330102 that they suspect that the problem may be from the differential clutch discs breaking in, but dealers are instructed to replace the differential oil with a different blend for owners who request it.

Since the surfaces of a wet clutch can be slippery (as with a motorcycle clutch bathed in engine oil), stacking multiple clutch discs can compensate for the lower coefficient of friction and so eliminate slippage under power when fully engaged.
