DESCRIPTION

Either
a

diaphragm
spring
or

coil

spring
type
clutch

is

fitted
to

the
vehicle
The

component
parts
of
the

diaphragm

spring
clutch
are
shown
in

Fig
E
l
and
the

component
parts

of
the
coil

spring
clutch
are
shown
in

Fig
E
2

The
clutch
is
of
the

single
dry
plate
type
consisting
of

the
drive

plate
clutch
coveT
and

pressure
plate
and
release

bearing

The
driven

plate
comprises
a

flexible
disc
and

splined
hub

which
slides
on
the

clutch
shaft
Friction
linings
are

rivetted
to

both

sides
of
the
disc

The
clutch
cover

and

pressure
plate
are
combined

by
nine

spring
setting
bolts
The

diaphragm
is
dished
to

maintain
a

constant

pressure
on
the

pressure
plate
which
in
turn
holds

the
driven

plate
in
contact
with
the

flywheel
The
release

bearing

is
a
sealed

type
ball

bearing
mounted
on
a

bearing
sleeve
Both

bearing
and
sleeve
are
operated

by
the
withdrawalleveT
when

the
clutch

pedal
is

operated

The
clutch

pedal
actuates
a
master

cylinder
which
transmits

fluid

under

pressure
to
a
slave

cylinder
The
movement
of

the

slave

cylinder
piston
operates
the
clutch
withdrawal
lever
via

a

push
rod

CLUTCH
Removal
and

Dismantling

The

gearbox
must

be
removed
from
the
vehicle
before

the
clutch
can

be
withdrawn
The

procedures
for

removing
the

gearbox
can
be
found
in
the
section
GEARBOX

If
a

diaphragm
clutch
is
fitted
insert
a

spare
clutch
shaft

or
a

special
alignment
tool
ST20600000
into
the

splines
of

the
driven

plate
So

supported
Slacken
the

six
bolts

securing
the
clutch
cover
to
the

flywheel
by
a
single

turn
at
a
time
and
in
a
diagonal

pattern
until
the

spring

pressure

is
relieved
Remove
the
bolts

completely
and
lift

away
the

clutch

assembly

When

removing
the
coil

spring
type
clutch
it
will

be

necessary
to
insert
suitable
hooks

under
the
release
levers
to

restrain
the
tension
of
the
clutch

spring
before

removing
the

clutch
cover
lx

Ensure
that
the
friction

linings
of
the
driven

plate
do
not

become
comtaminated
with
oil
or

grease
when
removing
the

plate
from
the

splined
shaft

Diaphragm

should
not

be
dismantled

should
be
