Notice: Refer to Clutch Hydraulic System Lubricant Notice in the Preface section.
The driving members consist of 2 flat surfaces machined to a smooth finish. One of these is the rear face of the engine flywheel and the other is the pressure plate. The pressure plate is fitted into a steel cover which is bolted to the flywheel.
Driven Members
The driven member is the clutch disc with a splined hub.
The splined hub is free to slide lengthwise along the splines of the input shaft and drives the input shaft through these same splines.
The driving and driven members are held in contact by spring pressure. This pressure is exerted by a diaphragm spring in the pressure plate assembly.
Operating Members
The clutch release system consists of the clutch pedal, the clutch shaft, the fork, and the release bearing. When pressure is applied to the clutch pedal, the fork pivots on its shaft and the inner end pushes against the release bearing. The bearing then pushes against the release levers in the pressure plate assembly, thereby releasing the clutch.
