  • Marine Propulsion group

🔌 Function

Joins the engine to the gearbox or drive and absorbs torsional shock, letting the driveline take gear changes and impulse loading without passing them into the crankshaft or gears.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

  • Clonk or shudder when engaging ahead or astern
  • Rattle at idle that clears as revolutions rise
  • Rubber elements cracked, crumbling or squeezed out
  • Black rubber dust in the bellhousing
  • Excess free play felt when the coupling is rocked by hand

🛠️ Service Notes

  • Check engine to gearbox alignment before and after fitting - misalignment is what kills these couplings
  • Inspect the gearbox input shaft splines and the flywheel bolt holes while the coupling is out
  • The number it replaces was listed under other names, so an older parts list may show it as a clutch or damper
