play according to the wear of clutch disc.
2. Operation description

Overview
1. Driving Elements
The driving elements consist of two flat surfaces machined to a smooth finish.
One of these is the rear face of the engine flywheel and the other is the clutch pressure plate. The clutch pressure
plate is fitted into a clutch steel cover, which is bolted to the flywheel.
2. Driven Elements
The driven element is the clutch disc with a splined hub which is free to slide lengthwise along the splines of the
input shaft.
The driving and driven elements are held in contact by spring pressure. This pressure is exerted by a diaphragm
spring in the clutch cover pressure plate assembly.
3. Operating Elements
The clutch "release" system consists of the clutch pedal and clutch release cylinder.
This system directly releases the clutch by using hydraulic pressure while the conventional clutch system releases
the clutch by using release lever and release fork. This system provides higher efficiency than conventional clutch
system, and its durability is superior.
1) Clutch master cylinder (mounted on clutch pedal)
2) Concentric slave cylinder pipe (mounted inside of transmission)
