TCM Transmission Friction Plate / Spacer — 108×172×2mm
The TCM friction plate spacer is a precision-ground steel separator disc measuring 108mm outer diameter, 172mm inner diameter, and 2mm thickness, designed as a factory-spec replacement for TCM hydraulic transmission clutch packs. Inside the transmission, multiple friction plates and separator plates are stacked alternately to form each clutch pack — the friction plates are lined with friction material and engage the clutch drum splines, while the steel separator plates (spacers) sit between them, providing the running clearance and heat-dissipation surface that prevent the clutch pack from welding itself together under sustained load. A worn or warped spacer plate reduces the clutch pack stack height, causing excessive piston travel, delayed engagement, and slipping under load.
Manufactured from precision-ground alloy steel with a controlled thickness of 2.00mm (±0.02mm tolerance), this friction plate spacer features a smooth, flat surface finish on both sides for consistent friction characteristics and even heat transfer across the clutch pack. The inner spline diameter of 172mm matches the TCM transmission clutch hub specification, and the outer diameter of 108mm fits the TCM clutch drum bore. The plate is heat-treated for hardness and dimensional stability through repeated thermal cycles — a plate that warps under heat creates uneven contact pressure across the clutch pack, causing hot spots, localized friction material burn, and eventual clutch failure.
Direct replacement for TCM FD25-35, FD30-35, and other TCM forklift models with 108×172×2mm specification clutch packs. Always measure the existing stack height before adding or removing spacer plates — stack height directly affects clutch pack clearance, and incorrect clearance causes either dragging (too tight) or delayed engagement (too loose).

Each friction plate spacer ships oiled and wrapped. Verify the exact dimensions against the removed plate before installation — 108mm OD and 172mm ID are non-negotiable fitment parameters. Check the clutch pack stack height with a dial caliper after assembly. For TCM transmission service procedures, consult Baldwin Filters.
