DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
CLUTCH COMPONENTS
The clutch mechanism consists of a single, dry-type
clutch disc and a diaphragm style clutch cover. A
hydraulic linkage is used to operate the clutch disc
and cover. The clutch components are very similar to
those used in gas engine models.
A pilot bearing is used to support the transmission
input shaft. The bearing is seated in a separate,
removable housing bolted to the flywheel hub.
CLUTCH HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The clutch hydraulic system should not require
additional fluid under normal circumstances.
NOTE: The reservoir
increase as normal clutch wear occurs. For this rea-
son, it is important to avoid over filling, or remov-
ing fluid from the reservoir.
If inspection indicates additional fluid is needed,
add fluid from a sealed container only. Use Mopar
brake fluid, or an equivalent meeting standards SAE
J1703 and DOT 3. Do not use any other type of fluid.
