DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CLUTCH
DESCRIPTION
The clutch mechanism consists of a flywheel, a sin-
gle, dry-type disc, and a diaphragm style clutch cover
(Fig. 1). A hydraulic linkage is used to operate the
clutch release bearing and fork. The flywheel is
bolted to the rear flange of the crankshaft. The
clutch pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel with
the clutch disc located between these two compo-
nents. The clutch system provides the mechanical,
but still easily detachable, link between the engine
and the transmission. The system is designed to
ensure that the full torque output of the engine is
transfered to the transmission while isolating the
transmission from the engine firing pulses to mini-
mize concerns such as gear rattle.
OPERATION
Leverage, clamping force, and friction are what
make the clutch work. The disc serves as the friction
element and a diaphragm spring and pressure plate Fig. 1 Engine Powerflow
provide the clamping force. The clutch pedal, hydrau-

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
lic linkage, release lever and bearing provide the
leverage.
The clutch master cylinder push rod is connected
to the clutch pedal. When the clutch pedal is
depressed, the slave cylinder is operated by the
clutch master cylinder mounted on the dash panel.
The release fork is actuated by the hydraulic slave
cylinder mounted on the transmission housing. The
release bearing is operated by a release fork pivoting
on a ball stud mounted in the transmission housing.
The release bearing then depresses the pressure
plate spring fingers, thereby releasing pressure on
the clutch disc and allowing the engine crankshaft to
spin independently of the transmission input shaft
(Fig. 2).
