Engine torque is transmitted to the pressure plate assembly(13) via the flywheel(1) which is connected to
the engine crankshaft. Therefore, the clutch cover constantly runs with the engine. The clutch disc(2) is
located between the flywheel(1) and the pressure plate(4) in the pressure plate assembly. Torque is
transmitted to the clutch disc(2) by the pressure created by the diaphragm spring(5) installed in the pressure
plate assembly. Then, the torque is transmitted to the transmission via the clutch shaft(12).
When the clutch pedal(9) is depressed, the clutch release hub(10) and the clutch release bearing(11) move
towards the flywheel and push the fingers of the diaphragm spring(5). In other words, this movement pulls
the pressure plate(4) up and disengages the clutch.
