The same bronze friction plate is used in both the 71L and 72L families, but the clutch-pack plate count is different — five plates in 3018\/3019 assemblies versus seven in 3007\/3008 assemblies. Ordering by transmission series name alone risks getting the wrong quantity for a rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso watch for the 72LX (assembly 3011), which uses a paper friction plate instead of bronze. It is a common mix-up when ordering by engine family, and the plates are not interchangeable. If you are unsure which assembly you have, the transmission identification plate is the reliable source — not the model number stamped on the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BOR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43563779063844,"sku":"3000-166-001","price":18.58,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/B3000-166-001.png?v=1771998725","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/velvet-drive-bronze-clutch-plate-3000-166-001","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
