MTC clutches offer a cost-effective and durable solution compared to OEM clutches, lasting 30% longer or exceeding 200,000 miles. This extended lifespan minimizes downtime and reduces operational expenses, contributing to significant cost savings. Furthermore, these clutches boast a 15% higher torque capacity than their OEM counterparts, thanks to a lining back that enhances thermal stability and strength, along with nearly double the wear reserve.
The HD 30 PLUS clutch lining, specifically engineered for heavy commercial vehicles, distinguishes itself through a two-layer design. This innovative approach allows for optimized performance characteristics, unlike conventional single-layer linings that often compromise on essential properties. This advanced lining ensures superior durability and reliability, crucial for demanding applications.
Essential Considerations for DT12 Transmission Rebuild
TCM Recalibration: Following clutch replacement, recalibrating the Transmission Control Module (TCM) is crucial for optimal clutch operation. Specialized providers like Pittsburgh Power and their authorized remote tuning dealers possess the expertise to perform this essential recalibration.
Warranty Requirements: To maintain the two-year warranty, purchasing the clutch with an actuator is mandatory. This ensures proper installation and functionality, protecting your investment. The Pneumatic Clutch Actuator, designed for the DT12 transmission, guarantees precise clutch engagement, minimizing wear and tear while maximizing vehicle efficiency.
