When a single friction plate in the 8F57 clutch pack is worn, scored, or glazed, replacing it with a correctly specified piece stops the slip before it loads the surrounding steels and drums. This listing is one friction plate sized and formulated for the 8F57 automatic transmission, cataloged under the A4LD model, covering production years 1985 through 1994.
A worn friction plate in this position causes delayed engagement, soft shifts, or a clutch pack that no longer holds under load. Swapping the damaged plate for a correctly dimensioned replacement restores the clamping force the pack was designed to produce. Because the plate is chosen for this specific unit rather than pulled from a generic shelf, the friction surface, thickness, and internal spline count correspond to what the 8F57 requires.
This is a single-piece order. It does not include friction discs for other positions, steel separator plates, an Automatic Transmission Filter, seals, gaskets, or a band. If your rebuild requires those parts, they need to be sourced separately. Review your parts list against what this listing provides before placing the order.
Content: one (1) friction plate. Weight: 1 lb.
Before ordering, locate the transmission identification tag or casting code on your unit and confirm it reads 8F57. Also confirm the production year falls between 1985 and 1994. If the code or year does not match, this plate is not the correct part for your job.
- Restores clutch engagement in worn 8F57 units, stopping slip and delayed shifts that worsen over time if left unaddressed.
- This listing covers one friction plate only. It does not include steels, seals, Automatic Transmission Filter, bands, or any other rebuild components. Verify your full parts list before ordering.
- This friction plate is selected for the 8F57 clutch pack specification, matched to the dimensional and friction requirements of the A4LD application within this production range.
- Contents: one (1) friction plate. Item weight: 1 lb. No additional components are included in this listing.
- Before ordering, confirm the transmission code on your unit is 8F57 and that production falls within the 85-94 range. Application outside this range is not covered by this listing.
