STRUCTURE AND OPERATION

Description


CLUTCH 1 ENGAGE/DISENGAGE

Clutch 1 Engage





When fluid pressure is not applied to the transmission assembly
CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) (1), the force of the diaphragm spring (3) causes the pressure plate (2) to press the clutch disc (4)
against the flywheel (5). This causes the clutch disc to rotate together with the flywheel, transmitting the drive force from the engine to the transmission via the main shaft (6).





Clutch 1 Disengage





When fluid pressure is applied to the transmission assembly CSC
(1), the CSC presses the diaphragm spring (2), causing the pressure plate (3) to release the clutch disc (4). This terminates transmission of drive force from the engine to the transmission.
