facing pad/friction facing


Explanation:
Page 45 (printed page 39)

Damper
(Disc, Driven Disc, DDA, Clutch Plate) Portion of clutch affixed to transmission input shaft. Supports friction facings and torsional damping springs.

Major Clutch Components

The picture above shows a heavy duty dual disc spicer clutch assembly. The top left corner component is the pressure plate, and the top right component is the spacer disc which has tabs that are driven by the pressure plate so that it becomes a second pressure plate gripping surface between both discs. The pressure plate has heavy springs which press the outer most clutch disc against the spacer disc, which presses the inner most disc against the flywheel generating double grip when the clutch is engaged. The bottom two components are the twin clutch discs. There are eight facing pads riveted onto each of these clutch discs (four on each side).

I'm basing my suggestion on my second reference, where there is a diagram with '6-Pastas'.

6-Puck Cerametallic Disc
High friction coefficient, low wear, and a special heat resistant material [T5001] has been applied to enable the clutch size to be reduced which in turn lowers mass inertia and improves shift responses for faster gear changes particularly in racing applications. Durability is improved with the use of a stronger, smaller damper disc, designed especially for the Hyper Single clutch.

La matriz de materiales de fricción orgánicos enlazados en las pastas para Clutch marca Luk, consta de componentes de resina termoendurecible y caucho junto con materiales para reforzar las fibras.

I have a low confidence level because I can't make up my mind between 'clutch disc/plate' and 'friction facing'. I would probably translate it as 'friction facing/facing pad'.

Cuando las pastas se desgastan demasiado, su grosor provoca que el plato opresor ya no alcance a realizar la presión necesaria para mantenerlas sujetadas firmemente. Lo anterior produce que el disco pueda seguir girando, quitándole potencia al carro. Es decir, se escucha cómo acelera el motor pero la velocidad no concuerda con la aceleración.

I would definitely translate pasta as 'pad/facing'!

Pastas desagastadas hasta los remaches.

the clutch disk (friction plate) engages


Explanation:
pasta can refer to the pads on multi pad plates; to the friction ring of the clutch friction plate; or to the friction plate itself.

Reference

Reference information:
It might refer to a damper but I'm afraid I don't have time to research the term.

From page 40 onwards

https://dimnsa.com/catalogos/descargas/Eaton/eaton-Aftermark...

There have been many advancements in the internal combustion engine over the years. But one thing that has remained constant is vibration, says Prashant Kulkarni, engineering manager – Clutch Division, Eaton Corp.

In a recent technical paper Kulkarni said, “All of these engines create different firing pulses in order to operate and it is those pulses that cause oscillations and subsequent vibration.”

That vibration then moves throughout the entire driveline, “through the clutch, the transmission, down the driveshaft and to the axles.”

If you google "clutch" + "dampers" and click on images, you'll see photos that look the same as the pastas in my first reference.
