1. OVERVIEW
The hydraulic clutch transmits the force required to operate the clutch pedal to the concentric
slave cylinder fitted to the clutch housing as a hydraulic pressure.
(The hydraulic pressure is transmitted in the following order: Clutch pedal - Clutch master cylinder
- Clutch pipe - Clutch damper - Clutch pipe and hose - Concentric slave cylinder - Pressure
plate - Flywheel.)
If a driver depress the clutch pedal, the hydraulic pressure is generated in the master cylinder. It is
transmitted to the concentric slave cylinder through the pipe, resulting in the cylinder being forced
out. At this time, the clutch disc is forced against the cylinder by pushing the cover. This, in turn,
remove the flywheel from the pressure plate. As a consequence, the power from the engine will be
cut off and the gear change can be carried out.
