3M2 Boat Engine Damper Drive Plate from R&D Marine

Fitted between the marine engine and the gearbox input shaft, a damper drive plate is designed to transmit the engine power to the gearbox, whilst reducing transmitted gear noise and providing a cushioned drive when selecting gear. All R and D Damper Drive plates include a 'failsafe' design.

Also called the Driven Plate, Damper Plate or Clutch Plate, the 3M2 Damper Drive Plate is from the R and D Loop element range. Common applications for the 3M2 drive plate include Ford and Perkins marine engines.
