Clutch Controls
The clutch control system consists of the following components:- clutch master cylinder reservoir and tubing
- crutch master cylinder
- clutch hydraulic tube
The clutch control system disengages the clutch when the clutch pedal is depressed and engages the clutch when released. When the clutch pedal is depressed it pushes the clutch master cylinder plunger. This develops hydraulic pressure and applies the clutch slave cylinder which engages the clutch release hub and bearing. The clutch release hub and bearing and clutch pressure plate diaphragm springs release the pressure on the clutch disc. This in turn disengages the transmission from the engine.
The hydraulic clutch system adjusts automatically to compensate for clutch disc wear. The clutch linkage is not adjustable.
