2. SATIC (SELF ADJUSTING TECHNOLOGY WITH
INTEGRATED CASSETTE)
1) System Description
Function ▶
On the conventional clutch, the pedal force tends
to increase in proportion to the degree of disc
run-out. However, the SATIC clutch has the
adjusting function which activates the cassette
system inserted to the clutch cover to maintain a
constant pedal force and clearance when the
disc runs out. (Unlike SAT type, SATIC type does
not need SST for clutch cover removal.)
Operation ▶
Diaphragm spring rotates the adjusting
equipment as clutch disc is wearing and so,
pressure plate is pushed to clutch disc side at the
amount of wear.
Disc wear (Free
play) → Diaphragm spring (1)
→ Adjusting equipment (2, 3) → Pressure
plate (4)

2) Overview
Driving elements ▶
The driving elements consist of two flat surfaces machined to a smooth finish.
One of these is the rear face of the engine flywheel and the other is the clutch pressure plate. The clutch
pressure plate is fitted into a clutch steel cover, which is bolted to the flywheel.
Driven elements ▶
The driven element is the clutch disc with a splined hub which is free to slide lengthwise along the splines
of the input shaft.
The driving and driven elements are held in contact by spring pressure. This pressure is exerted by a
diaphragm spring in the clutch cover pressure plate assembly.
Operating Elements ▶
The clutch "release" system consists of the clutch pedal and clutch release cylinder.
This system directly releases the clutch by using hydraulic pressure while the conventional clutch system
releases the clutch by using release lever and release fork. This system provides higher efficiency than
conventional clutch system, and its durability is superior.

Description Mode Conditions
Driving
mode2H 2 Wheel drive
(rear wheel)Rear-wheel drive mode. This is used under
normal or high-speed driving conditions on
public roads or highways.
4H 4 Wheel drive
(high speed)This is used under sandy, muddy or snow-
covered road conditions
4L 4 Wheel drive
(low speed)This is used for maximum traction.
When cornering with low speed in 4WD
condition, there could be tire dragging, some
mechanical shocks and resistances in
vehicle’s drive train. These are normal
conditions due to internal resistance in the drive
train when the 4WD system is properly working
