KALAMAZOO, Mich. ? Eaton Corp. has made ordering of replacement kits for Fuller clutches simpler and faster by combining key clutch and transmission components into one convenient package, according to David Plaster, global marketing manager for the company’s Aftermarket Division.

Kits are available for the RT Series and FR Series for both of Eaton’s Easy-Pedal and Solo clutch designs. 

“Previously, our customers had to order these replacement parts separately,” Plaster said. “They asked us to put everything they need for a proper installation in one complete kit, and that’s what we’ve delivered. The new premium packaging also goes a long way to help eliminate any damage that might result from shipping and handling.”

All parts in the kits are genuine OEM quality, and contain the replacement clutch, four clutch release shaft bushings, front bearing cover gasket, outer and inner input shaft snap rings, shift lever tower gasket, front bearing cover, clutch housing gasket, input shaft bearing, pilot bearing, input shaft assembly, clutch brake and clutch release fork, Plaster said.

Fuller clutch replacement kits are available for virtually all makes and models of medium- and heavy-duty trucks in North America.
