Clutch Part Number Cross-Reference: Reading Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Volvo and Renault Numbers

13 November 2026 · Part numbers

European truck clutch numbers look interchangeable because several brands share the same supplier base. They are not interchangeable by prefix alone. The number tells you which family a part belongs to; the dimensions decide whether it fits.

The families you will see

These groupings describe what the numbers in this catalogue actually are. They are not a manufacturer's published rule and must not be used as a fitment guarantee.

Why the same cover carries several disc numbers

A cover is matched to a gearbox by the disc hub. Change the gearbox and the cover stays, the disc changes. In this catalogue, Mercedes-Benz cover 3482081232 is listed with more than one disc, and MAN cover 3482000464 appears with two disc variants. Quoting a cover alone is not enough information to ship the right set.

Cross-brand confusion to watch for

• The same 3482/3483 prefixes appear under Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Volvo and Renault listings. A prefix match is not a part match.
• Diameters repeat across brands: 430mm covers exist for DAF, Volvo, Scania, Mercedes-Benz, MAN, HINO and ISUZU with different bolt patterns.
• Japanese numbering is separate: HNC/HND for HINO, ISC/ISD for ISUZU, MFC/MFD for Mitsubishi Fuso.

How to confirm a cross-reference

1. Take the cover diameter and the disc diameter from the old parts, not from a catalogue description.
2. Count the disc spline teeth and measure the hub.
3. Record the flywheel bolt count and the release type (pull or push).
4. Send the chassis or gearbox number — that is the only reliable tie-breaker between two numbers that look equivalent.

If you only have a number and no vehicle details, we will tell you what the number is listed as, and what still needs confirming. We will not present an unconfirmed match as a guarantee.
