Reaction plates are normally splined to the which component?

Reaction plates are normally splined to the which component?

• A. Transmission output shaft
• B. Brake band
• C. Planetary gear component
• D. Clutch hub

Answer: (D)

In a multiplate clutch, the reaction plates form the stationary-facing part of the plate stack that reacts to the hydraulic apply pressure while transmitting torque through the pack. They are normally splined to the clutch hub, which is the rotating piece connected to the input shaft. This arrangement lets the plates move together with the hub and transfer torque through the friction surfaces to the outer drum and then to the output path. The brake band only holds drums, planetary gear components are part of the gearset, and the output shaft is where torque goes after being transmitted, not where the reaction plates are mounted. So reaction plates are normally splined to the clutch hub.
