Clutch: Description and Operation

The clutch control system consists of a clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder and a connecting hose. The clutch master cylinder is operated directly by the clutch pedal. When the clutch pedal is pressed down, hydraulic fluid under pressure from the clutch master cylinder flows into the actuator. The actuator piston engages the clutch fork which moves the release bearing into contact with the diaphragm spring fingers to disengage the clutch.
The hydraulic clutch system locates the clutch pedal height and provides automatic clutch adjustment. No adjustment of clutch linkage or pedal position is required.
