The clutch release mechanism consists 01 a .elease leve. and a bearing which conwcts the lelease Imgers on the pressure plilte assembl.,.. The eHect of an.,. wear of the friction ma terial in the clutch is adjuSled out b.,. means 01 a cable adjuster at the lowel end 01 the cable where it
passes through the bell housing .
Dep.ess lng the clutch pedal actuates the clutch release leve. b.,. means of the cable . The lelease level pushes the lelease bearing
forward to bear against thO release l ingels so moving the centre of the diaphf()gm sprong within the annular rings which act as fulcrum points.
A s th e centrO of thO spring is pushed in. the outside of the Spling is pushed OUI. so Illoving Ihe pressure plme backward and disengaging the p.essu.e plate flom the /tielion disc .
