Clutch
General Description
Clutch (Hydraulic Type) Construction
S5JB0A5301001
The clutch is a diaphragm-spring clutch of a dry single
disc type. The diaphragm spring is of a tapering-finger
type, which is a solid ring in the outer diameter part, with
a series of tapered fingers pointing inward.
The disc, carrying torsional coil springs, is positioned on
the transmission input shaft with an involute spline fit.
The clutch cover is secured to the flywheel, and carries
the diaphragm spring in such a way that the peripheral
edge part of the spring pushes on the pressure plate
against the flywheel (with the disc in between), when the
clutch release bearing (incorporated in clutch operating
cylinder) is held back. This is the engaged condition of
the clutch.
Depressing the clutch pedal causes the release bearing
(incorporated in clutch operating cylinder) to advance
and pushes on the tips of the tapered fingers of the
diaphragm spring. When this happens, the diaphragm
spring pulls the pressure plate away from the flywheel,
thereby interrupting the flow of drive from flywheel
through clutch disc to transmission input shaft.
Clutch fluid is supplied from brake fluid reservoir.
Clutch fluid level can be checked by brake fluid level of
brake fluid reservoir.
