What is a Volvo FMX500 clutch plate 23715461?

Part 23715461 is the clutch friction plate for the Volvo FMX500 drivetrain (D13 500hp engine). A splined disc with organic composite friction lining and 6-stage torsional damper hub that transmits engine torque from the flywheel to the gearbox input shaft via the CPCA clutch system.

How long does clutch plate 23715461 last?

Typical service life is 400,000-700,000 km in long-haul conditions. In construction or mining applications with repeated loaded starts, service life may be 200,000-350,000 km.

What causes premature clutch plate wear on the FMX500?

Riding the clutch pedal, excessive slipping during loaded hill starts, oil contamination from a leaking rear crankshaft seal, worn CPCA cylinder causing incomplete engagement, and low-grade friction material with incorrect friction coefficient.

Can 23715461 be used with I-Shift AMT?

Yes. 23715461 is the friction plate for both manual and I-Shift FMX500 trucks. I-Shift calibration via VCADS Pro is required after replacement to relearn engagement parameters.

What are signs the clutch plate 23715461 is worn?

Early: slip at full throttle or on climbs, faint burning smell, longer pedal travel. Mid-stage: consistent slip under moderate load, judder, I-Shift fault codes. Critical: no torque transmission, strong burning smell.

Is 23715461 organic or ceramic friction material?

OEM specification uses organic composite friction lining. This provides smooth progressive engagement and adequate torque capacity for the D13 500hp engine output.

Should I replace the pressure plate and flywheel when replacing 23715461?

Inspect both. Replace flywheel if scoring exceeds 0.3mm. Replace pressure plate if diaphragm spring is cracked. Fitting new disc against worn components dramatically shortens new part service life.

What is the correct clutch break-in procedure for 23715461?

First 500 km: avoid full-load starts, do not tow at full capacity, avoid prolonged hill starts under load. Full torque capacity is achieved after 300-500 km of normal operation.

Does 23715461 fit FMX400 or FMX460?

No. 23715461 is specified for FMX500 (D13 500hp). FMX460 uses 23441664. Always verify chassis serial number before ordering.

Can PTC supply 23715461 to Nigeria, UAE, or Kenya?

Yes. PTC exports from Mumbai to Nigeria, UAE, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and 40+ countries. Airfreight for urgent orders; sea freight for bulk. Full export documentation provided.

What torque is clutch plate 23715461 rated for?

The D13 500hp engine produces peak torque of 2,500 Nm. The clutch system including 23715461 is designed to handle this load. OEM-specification friction material is essential to maintain rated torque capacity.

Is 23715461 OEM or aftermarket?

PTC supplies OEM-specification aftermarket parts for 23715461, manufactured to Volvo original dimensions, friction material grade, spline specification, and torsional damper calibration.
