Dowels on a clutch plate play a crucial role in ensuring proper alignment and positioning of the clutch components during assembly. They help maintain consistent spacing between the clutch disc and the flywheel, which is essential for smooth engagement and disengagement of the clutch. This alignment minimizes wear and tear, reduces the risk of vibration, and enhances overall performance and durability of the clutch system. Additionally, dowels contribute to the ease of installation and prevent misalignment during repairs or replacements.
