Overhaul Plate Kit for Twin Disc MG540 Marine Transmission

Product Specifications

Technical Overview: The overhaul plate kit for Twin Disc MG540 marine transmission is designed for complete replacement of the clutch plate packs during major service or rebuild. This kit restores correct clutch stack height, hydraulic pressure response, and smooth engagement under marine operating conditions.

Application and Function: This overhaul plate kit for Twin Disc MG540 marine gear is used when clutch slippage, pressure loss, or severe overheating has occurred. Replacing the full plate set ensures the hydraulic piston operates within its designed range, preventing harsh engagement and premature wear.

Why Replace the Complete Kit: The MG540 transmission relies on precise accumulated clutch thickness for proper operation. Replacing only damaged plates can alter stack height and compromise performance. Installing the complete overhaul plate kit ensures uniform engagement and extends transmission service life.

Installation Guidance: Before installation, all friction plates must be soaked in clean transmission oil for a minimum of one hour. Installing dry plates may cause accelerated wear during initial engagement. Follow standard Twin Disc service procedures for clutch pack assembly and clearances.

Compatibility: This overhaul plate kit is compatible with all standard variants of the Twin Disc MG540 marine transmission.

Included Components
• 22 sintered clutch plates
• 20 steel clutch plates
