When a rebuild stalls because one friction pack is worn beyond spec, having the correct stage 1 red clutch disc set on hand keeps the job moving without ordering a full overhaul kit you do not need. This clutch pack is built for the 48RE, 47RH, 46RE, A618, and A518 automatic transmission family covering model years 2003 through 2016, and the red compound friction material distinguishes it from standard grey discs that see accelerated wear under sustained torque or elevated operating temperatures.
The red friction compound is chosen specifically for stage 1 configurations where the clutch pack faces higher thermal and mechanical stress during normal heavy-duty operation. A technician who has already torn down the unit and confirmed that the frictions are the failure point will find this a direct replacement rather than a compromise. The discs seat into the clutch drum the same way as the stock, and the red material provides a consistent coefficient of friction across the engagement range.
What this listing does not include is equally important to understand before placing an order: steel reaction plates, an Automatic Transmission Filter, bands, seals, o-rings, and gaskets are all separate. If your rebuild requires those components, they need to be sourced independently. This is a friction-disc-only item.
The article ships at 3 lb. Before ordering, cross-reference your unit's identification tag to confirm it is one of the five models listed and that the model year falls between 2003 and 2016. The disc count in the pack corresponds to the stage 1 clutch drum position; if your application calls for a different stage, this pack will not be the right fit.
- Skip the hunt for individual friction discs: this stage 1 red clutch pack gives you the friction material you need for one focused rebuild without piecing it together from multiple sources.
- This listing covers friction discs only. Steel plates, Automatic Transmission Filter, bands, seals, and gaskets are NOT included. Review your parts list before ordering to confirm this is the specific component you are missing.
- The red compound friction material in this pack is suited for performance and heavy-duty use applications where the standard grey disc tends to wear faster under higher heat and load cycles.
- Content: one clutch pack, stage 1 configuration, red friction discs. Article weight: 3 lb. Verify count matches your unit's specification before installation.
- Before ordering, confirm your transmission code, model year within the 2003-2016 range, and whether your unit is a 48RE, 47RH, 46RE, A618, or A518 variant. Not all model years share the same disc count.
