7C1-2 CLUTCH
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 torsional coil springs, is positioned
on the transmission input shaft with an involute spline
fit.
The clutch cover is secured to the flywheel, and car-
ries the diaphragm spring in such a way that the pe-
ripheral edge part of the spring pushes on the pres-
sure plate against the flywheel (with the disc in be-
tween), when the clutch release bearing is held back.
This is the engaged condition of the clutch.Depressing the clutch pedal causes the release bear-
ing to advance and pushes on the tips of the tapered
fingers 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 transmis-
sion input shaft.
