Hydraulic Release System

HYDRAULIC RELEASE SYSTEM
A hydraulic clutch operating mechanism is used on all manual transaxle models. The mechanism consists of a master cylinder/fluid reservoir and a slave cylinder connected to the master cylinder by hydraulic tubing. The master cylinder/fluid reservoir is mounted in the front of dash and the slave cylinder is mounted in the transaxle clutch housing. The master cylinder is operated directly off the clutch pedal by a pushrod.
As the clutch pedal is depressed, hydraulic fluid under pressure from the master cylinder flows into the slave cylinder. As hydraulic force is applied to the slave cylinder, the push rod movement moves the clutch fork toward the flywheel forcing the release bearing into the pressure plate releasing the clutch. The hydraulic system is self adjusting. No adjustment is necessary or possible.
