The master cylinder converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy.
Depressing the clutch pedal causes the push rod to move against the piston to close the return port.
Clutch fluid is forced out of the master cylinder.
Releasing the clutch pedal causes the return spring to force the piston back to its original position.
The return port is opened and the clutch fluid flows back into the fluid reservoir.
Quickly releasing the clutch pedal will cause the fluid pressure at the return spring side to be lower than the fluid
pressure at the push rod side.
This allows the fluid at the push rod side to quickly flow to the return spring side through a port in the piston head.
This equalizes the pressure at both sides of the piston.

The slave cylinder converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy.
Hydraulic fluid supplied by the master cylinder moves the slave cylinder piston to actuate the shift fork.
The mechanical energy produced by the slave cylinder is directly proportional to the diameters of the master
cylinder and the slave cylinder.
A bleeder screw is provided to bleed the slave cylinder.

The hydraulic damper cylinder is installed between the master cylinder and the slave cylinder to smooth out
variations in clutch pedal feel.

The pressure plate assembly consists of the clutch cover, the pressure plate with diaphragm spring.
Operating the clutch pedal causes the pressure plate to move in an axial direction to engage and disengage the
clutch.
