A friction lining for a wet clutch, in particular for a converter lockup, the clutch containing the ingredients&#x2014;cellulose fibers, aramid fibers, fillers and a bonding agent. To provide a cost-effective friction lining suitable for the application under the conditions of a converter lockup clutch, it is proposed to admix powdered nutshell of percentage weight between 1% and 40%.

Friction lining for wet clutch

A friction lining made of a fibrous mixture with fillers and resin for a wet clutch. In order to design the friction lining able to withstand the higher torque to be transmitted, it is proposed to admix further filler with a Mohs hardness greater or equal to 9.0 and smaller or equal to 9.5 in addition to the ingredients of aramid fibers, cellulose fibers, phenol resin and amorphous silicon dioxide and first filler.
