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.
  
  

• Dry-stage the stack to confirm order and quantity, then pre-lube all plates.
  
  

• Inspect steels for warp or bluing; replace any heat-spotted pieces.
  
  

• Torque carrier hardware to spec in a cross pattern; verify runout.
  
  

• Warm no-load run-in, followed by progressive load checks; recheck oil level and inspect for leaks.
  
  

Related MG-5061 items to consider

• Gasket & Seal Kit (reseal disturbed covers and bores).
  
  

• Oil strainer service (protect fresh clutches from residual debris).
  
  

Gasket & Seal Kit for Twin Disc MG-5061

What this part is
A complete reseal package tailored to the MG-5061 case, covers, and service ports. It stops weeping, stabilizes hydraulic pressure, and protects new clutch work from re-contamination.
Fitment note: used on MG-5061 shallow-case (SC) and MG-5061A builds where profiles match. This kit does not include bearing shims.

What it includes

• Form-fit gaskets for inspection and service covers.
  
  

• Lip seals and O-rings for input/output shafts and control interfaces.
  
  

• Crush washers (where applicable) for ports and plugs.
  
  

What it fixes

• Persistent oil film or misting at covers and perimeters.
  
  

• Aeration/foaming from air ingress at tired seals.
  
  

• Control pressure instability from internal leakage paths.
  
  

• Messy bilge conditions that shorten clutch life.
  
  

Service indicators you need this kit

• Repeat top-offs with no obvious drip—suggesting fine seepage.
  
  

• Dampness by selector cover, inspection plates, or shaft exits.
  
  

• Fresh oil smear returning shortly after a short sea trial.
  
  

Installation highlights

• Clean mating faces thoroughly; avoid gouging aluminum surfaces.
  
  

• Lightly oil seal lips; use guide sleeves over splines to prevent nicks.
  
  

• Seat and torque port fittings on clean, burr-free faces; confirm crush-washer conformity.
  
  

• Run test and reinspect perimeters and rotating shafts for early leak detection.
  
  

Related MG-5061 items to consider

• Overhaul Plate Kit (fresh clutches + tight sealing = best outcome).
  
  

• Approved lubricant per MG-5061 guidance after a full reseal.
  
  

MG-5061 Symptom-to-Parts Quick Guide

Slipping or delayed engagement — Install Overhaul Plate Kit, service oil strainer, verify control pressure.
Recurring oil film or misting — Use Gasket & Seal Kit; check vents and surface finish.
Low/erratic pressure alarms — Clean/replace oil strainer, verify pickup integrity; reseal if needed.
Shudder/chatter on take-up — Renew Overhaul Plate Kit; confirm proper stack height and oil spec.

MG-5061 Service Workflow (Best-Practice Sequence)

Baseline: Record oil level/condition, control pressure, temperature, engagement feel, and vibration/noise notes.
Plan: Stage the Overhaul Plate Kit, Gasket & Seal Kit, and strainer supplies to complete the job in one window.
Execute: Reseal disturbed covers/bores, install clutch pack to spec, service strainer, refill with approved oil.
Commission: Warm idle, neutral checks, light engagements both directions, then a controlled harbor trial with post-run inspections.
Document: Save clearances, torque values, and pressure readings for future reference.
