Clutch: Description and Operation

Clutch
The primary function of the clutch system is to connect and disconnect engine power to the transmission upon driver command.








Clutch System Components
^ The clutch is a single-plate, dry friction clutch disc with a self-adjusting, diaphragm-style spring clutch pressure plate.
^ The clutch operating mechanism consists of a clutch slave cylinder with an integral release bearing.
^ A pilot bearing supports the end of the input shaft. The bearing does not require lubrication unless the clutch system is serviced.
