Repair and Diagnosis: Transmission: Clutches: Description

All models use a single dry disc type clutch and a diaphragm spring type pressure plate. A pre-lubricated clutch release bearing is also used. Clutch actuation is hydraulic through a master cylinder and a slave cylinder. Configuration and size of components varies with vehicle model, however, operation is basically the same.
