7C-2 CLUTCH
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The clutch is a diaphragm-spring clutch of a dry single disc type. The diaphragm spring is of a tapering-finger
type, which is a solid ring in the outer diameter part, with a series of tapered fingers pointing inward.
The disc, carrying four torsional coil springs, is positioned on the transmission input shaft with an involute spline
fit.
The clutch cover is secured to the flywheel, and carries the diaphragm spring in such a way that the peripheral
edge part of the spring pushes on the pressure plate against the flywheel (with the disc in between), when the
clutch release bearing is held back. This is the engaged condition of the clutch.
Depressing the clutch pedal causes the release bearing to advance and pushes on the tips of the tapered fin-
gers of the diaphragm spring. When this happens, the diaphragm spring pulls the pressure plate away from the
flywheel, thereby interrupting the flow of drive from flywheel through clutch disc to transmission input shaft.

INSPECTION
Input Shaft Bearing
Check bearing (1) for smooth rotation and replace it if abnormality
is found.
Clutch Disc
Measure depth of rivet head depression, i.e. distance between
rivet head and facing surface. If depression is found to have
reached service limit at any of holes, replace disc assembly.
Rivet head depth
Standard : 1.65 – 2.25 mm (0.06 – 0.09 in.)
Service limit : 0.5 mm (0.02 in.)
Clutch Cover
1) Check diaphragm spring (1) for abnormal wear or damage.
2) Inspect pressure plate (2) for wear or heat spots.
3) If abnormality is found, replace it as assembly. Do not disas-
semble it into diaphragm and pressure plate.
Flywheel
Check surface contacting clutch disc for abnormal wear or heat
spots. Replace or repair as required.
