VW Clutch Friction Disc - Sachs 025141031K

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 Sachs

ZF Sachs AG, also known as Fichtel & Sachs was founded in Schweinfurt in 1895 and was a well-known German family business. At its last point as an independent company, the company name was Fichtel & Sachs AG. In 1997, the automotive supplier was taken over by Mannesmann and renamed Mannesmann Sachs AG. As of 2001, Sachs belonged to ZF Friedrichshafen as a subsidiary company ZF Sachs AG. In 2011, ZF Sachs, like other Group subsidiaries, was legally merged with ZF Friedrichshafen AG and the independent business units integrated into the ZF divisions. Sachs has since become a brand of ZF Friedrichshafen AG.
