1982 Dodge Aries Clutch Systems

Vehicles with automatic transmissions have a flex plate. The flex plates connects the engine and transmission. Most flex plates are made of a thick piece of sheet metal with bolt holes for the torque converter and teeth for the starter. The job of a flex plate is to allow for expansion of the torque converter as engine RPM increases. The constant expansion and contraction of a flex plate over time can result cracks and/or shearing of the flex plate. A damaged flex plate can create serious (expensive) damage. Broken flex plates can not be repaired, they must be replaced. ATP flex plates are made of high quality steel and contain the correct bolt hole spacing and ring gear teeth just like the original part to ensure long life and durability

Product Features:

• Balanced to factory specs
• Fit and function like the original parts
• Restores normal operation

LuK: New flywheels are a smart alternative! The flywheel is an integral part of clutch replacement. It must provide a smooth, flat surface for proper clutch operation. Pairing your clutch set with a new flywheel is a smart, cost-effective alternative to resurfacing. All new – never remanufactured – every component is engineered and manufactured to OE specifications, including ring gear and dowel pins.

The EXEDY Pro-Kit clutch assembly you will receive is manufactured on the same production line as OEM clutch components! Clutch cover assemblies (pressure plates): All cover assemblies endure a precise robotic testing process to ensure proper clamp load and clutch lift separation. This step ensures optimal pedal feel for better drivability. To help guarantee durability, the diaphragm spring (dark fingers in the center) receives special high frequency induction heat treating. This helps prevent the wear that normally occurs at the contact surface of the release bearing. Together, these procedures provide you a like-new pedal feel throughout the life of your clutch. Clutch Discs: EXEDY Engineers develop, perfect and manufacture our own friction materials. We produce a material with exceptional friction and wear characteristics that will help engage smoothly, grip as expected and provide you with a longer lasting installation. Disc Spring Dampers: This is the center section of the clutch disc. EXEDY spring-type disc dampers are patented worldwide to suppress engine and driveline noise by absorbing vibrations. Vehicle-specific designs let you enjoy your ride without compromise.

Product Features:

• Original Equipment Replacement.
• Direct fit application.
• True OE friction plates and steels.
• Contains all necessary components
