Mercedes Clutch Friction Disc - Genuine Mercedes 1402722726

Product Information

A clutch disc is a friction plate within a car's clutch system that allows the transmission to engage and disengage with the engine, enabling gear changes; when a clutch disc fails, common symptoms include a slipping clutch (engine revving without proper acceleration), difficulty shifting gears, a spongy clutch pedal, burning smell when accelerating, and sometimes a grinding noise when engaging the clutch

• Slipping clutch: Engine revs high without a corresponding increase in vehicle speed, especially when accelerating uphill
• Spongy clutch pedal: Feeling a soft or spongy sensation when pressing the clutch pedal
• Difficulty shifting gears: Difficulty engaging gears smoothly due to the clutch not fully disengaging

About Genuine Mercedes

The original parts used by Mercedes Benz to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mercedes Benz” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
