Clutch Driven Plate
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2009 Volvo S60, 2008 Volvo S60, 2007 Volvo S60, 2006 Volvo S60, and 2005 Volvo S60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The clutch driven plate is the component that transfers the torque to the input shaft and into the transmission.
The clutch driven plates of today do not have dampers or friction elements. These functions are integrated in the dual mass flywheel.
The clutch driven plate center is greased internally when the clutch driven plate is installed at the factory. This reduces the friction between the clutch driven plate and the input shaft to make shifting easier.
When replacing the clutch driven plate, the input shaft must be lubricated. See the instructions for replacing the clutch.
