This is a 101T clutch plate, a critical friction component within the transmission system that engages and disengages power to different gears. Manufactured to meet Caterpillar's demanding material and performance specifications, it offers superior wear resistance and consistent engagement compared to a worn or glazed plate. Operators might experience difficulty shifting gears, clutch slippage, or a burning smell emanating from the transmission when this clutch plate begins to fail.

Drain and replace transmission fluid when servicing internal components. Use correct ATF specification. Pre-fill torque converters with fluid before installation. Allow 10 minutes for fluid to settle before checking level.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Early indications of a failing clutch plate include a noticeable delay in gear engagement or a slight shudder when shifting. As the condition worsens, the machine may lose power under load, or the transmission may slip out of gear unexpectedly. Continued operation can lead to overheating of the transmission fluid and potential damage to other internal components.
Thoroughly clean the transmission clutch housing and ensure all mating surfaces are free of debris before installing new plates. Do not reuse old bolts or dowels; use new hardware as specified.
Always replace all friction discs and steel plates in a clutch pack simultaneously, and inspect the transmission filter and fluid for signs of wear.
