Leading Parts
The leading structural elements are two flat surfaces, machined and ground. One of them is the rear surface of the engine flywheel, and the second is the surface of the pressure plate. The pressure plate is enclosed in a clutch cover, which is bolted to the flywheel.
Driven parts
The driven element of the design is a driven clutch disc with a splined bushing. The sleeve moves freely on the splines of the gearbox input shaft, transmitting torque to it.
The contact between the driving and driven clutch elements is provided by the spring force. The source of this force is a diaphragm-type pressure spring installed between the pressure plate and the clutch housing.
Work Items
The clutch drive system consists of the clutch pedal, master cylinder and concentric clutch release cylinder.
Unlike earlier designs that used a clutch release fork and a release lever to disengage the clutch, this system uses a concentric cylinder that directly disengages by force transmitted through the hydraulic system from the clutch pedal.
