The clutch of a car consists of a driven and pressure plate, a control pedal, a main and working cylinder of a hydraulic drive, tubes, etc.
The clutch is disengaged by pressing the clutch pedal. In this case, the force from the pedal through the rod is transmitted to the piston of the clutch master cylinder. The pressure developed by the clutch master cylinder is transmitted to the slave cylinder. The piston of the working cylinder through the rod actuates the clutch release mechanism.
This chapter contains instructions for disassembling, checking, repairing and installing clutch elements.
