Chrysler 300 Clutch Discs

A clutch disc is a core component of the clutch assembly – a set of mechanisms allowing a driver to disconnect the manual transmission from the engine to shift gears. Another function of the clutch is to provide friction needed to transfer torque to the transmission shaft. That's why clutch discs are made from abrasive materials and feature a special construction. When the clutch pedal is partly depressed, the disc slips in between the pressure plate and flywheel. The side effect of the process is severe wear of the part, especially in case of overheating, which is normally accompanied by typical smell.

That’s likely to be the reason why your Chrysler 300 needs a new clutch disc. As this car is more than fifty years old (the modern Chrysler 300 doesn’t have a manual transmission), there is a high probability that it’s not the first clutch disc replacement in the car’s life. And the more durable component you install there, the more miles it will cover. Often, it's wise to replace the whole clutch kit – the disk, pressure plate, and release bearing, not forgetting to inspect the condition of shaft seals and other minor parts. With our Chrysler 300 clutch discs and other components, you always get the finest products that will reliably work for years to come.
