Fig. 1 Plan View of Exhaust system
'he low
-loss catalytic converter exhaust system for the VI2 engine comprises catalyst/downpipe assembly with addi- tional secondary catalytic converters (1 Fig.11, a underfloor catalytic converter assembly (2 Fig.1) complete with heat
shield (3 Fig.l), an intermediate muffler section (4 Fig.1) and a rear muffler section (5 Fig. 1).
On non-catalytic converter systems, the downpipe/catalyst assembly is fitted with conventional twin branch down- pipes (6 Fig.11, hence there are no oxygen sensors or exhaust gas temperature sensors.
Conventional mufflers are fitted in place of the underfloor converters.

Manual Transmission & Clutch (AJ16)
7.1.12 CLUTCH, DESCRIPTION
The single-plate, diaphragm-type clutch, is operated by the pushrod of the slave cylinder acting on the clutch lever.
The slave cylinder, mounted on the transmission bell housing, is operated hydraulically from the clutch master cylinder
through
a series of hydraulic pipes.
The piston in the master cylinder is operated
by a push rod from the clutch pedal, which is fitted to the bulkhead
mounted pedal box.
The clutch pedal is positioned to the left of the brake pedal.
The engines use
a twin-mass flywheel configuration with built-in springs to provide a smooth take-up of drive.
The flywheel is extremely heavy and great care must be taken when lifting
it from the vehicle.
Fig.
1 The Clutch Assembly
CAUTION: The hydraulic fluid used in the clutch hydraulic system is injurious to car paintwork. Utmost precautions
MUST at all times be taken to prevent spillage of fluid. Should fluid be accidentally spilled onto the
paintwork, wipe fluid off immediately with a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol (methylated
spirits).
