-   0.066 kg
-   76 applications across the D and HS ranges
-   Supersedes 3886104
-   Part of the HS clutch pack

## 🔌 Function

Seals the clutch piston in its bore so oil pressure builds behind it instead of leaking past.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Clutch slipping or slow to engage as pressure bleeds away
-   Ring hardened, flattened or broken on strip-down
-   Loss of drive when the oil is hot
-   Groove or bore scored where the ring runs
-   Transmission oil pressure lower than it should be

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   This is the cheapest way back to full clutch pressure, so fit a new ring whenever piston 3817768 comes out
-   Check the piston groove and the bore for scoring before assembly, and lubricate the ring with clean transmission oil
