Overhaul Plate Kit for Twin Disc MG-5061
What this part is
A complete clutch-pack refresh engineered for the
Twin Disc MG-5061
. It restores clean engagement and dependable torque transfer by renewing the friction interface and steel mating surfaces inside the clutch assemblies.
Fitment note: engineered for MG-5061; commonly selected for MG-5061A where specifications match. Always verify against your data plate.
What it includes
-
Friction plates matched to MG-5061 control pressures and thermal loads.
-
Steel separator plates precision-ground for flatness and parallelism.
-
Stack height guidance to achieve the correct clutch pack height and plate order.
-
Assembly aids (where applicable) to streamline staging, indexing, and pre-lubrication.
What it fixes
-
Slipping under load or delayed bite ahead/astern.
-
Harsh, double-bump, or shuddering engagement from glazed or uneven plates.
-
Burnt odor and dark debris in oil indicating overheated clutches.
-
Inconsistent maneuvering control during docking and close-quarters work.
Service indicators you need this kit
-
RPM flares without proportional vessel movement when you shift into gear.
-
Heat rise in the gear after repeated low-speed maneuvers.
-
Metallic or fibrous residue in the strainer shortly after service.
-
Grab–release–grab sensation at low throttle.
Installation highlights
-
Measure as-found pack height ; record plate counts and clearances before teardown.
