When a steel clutch plate in an R5A51 automatic transmission warps, scores, or develops heat discoloration, the entire clutch pack loses the clamping consistency it needs to transfer torque cleanly. This listing covers one steel plate, part number, selected specifically for R5A51 applications from 1997 through 2006.
A steel plate does straightforward work inside a clutch pack: it alternates with friction discs and clamps down when the apply piston moves. If the steel is not flat or its surface is compromised, the pack drags when it should release and slips when it should hold. Replacing only the steel is the right call when the frictions are still within spec and the rest of the pack checks out on inspection.
This plate ships at 5 lb. At REMCO, individual pieces like this one are pulled by hand, checked against the part number on record, and packed with a parts list inside the box. That process has been standard here since 1991, whether the order is a single plate or a full overhaul kit.
What this listing does not include: friction discs, Automatic Transmission Filter, gaskets, seals, or any other component. If your rebuild calls for those, they need to be sourced separately. Review your parts breakdown before ordering so nothing holds up the job.
To confirm fitment, locate the transmission identification tag on the case and verify the unit code reads R5A51 and that the vehicle year falls between 1997 and 2006. Do not rely on vehicle model alone to determine compatibility.
- This steel clutch plate is a direct replacement for worn or burnt steels in R5A51 automatic transmission units, restoring proper clutch pack engagement.
- This listing is for one steel plate only. It does not include friction discs, seals, gaskets, Automatic Transmission Filter, or band. Check your full parts list before ordering to avoid a return trip.
- Steel plates in a clutch pack control how torque transfers between rotating members. A warped or scored plate causes slip, delayed shifts, or hard engagement that worsens with each cycle.
- One steel clutch plate, 5 lb shipping weight. Pulled and checked against part number before the box is sealed, with a parts list enclosed in the package.
- Before ordering, confirm your transmission code is R5A51 and that the application year falls within 1997 to 2006. Unit codes can usually be found on the transmission case tag.
