DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

When the clutch pedal is depressed, hydraulic fluid
transmits the movement via the slave cylinder, release
lever (10), bearing (9), to the inner fingers of the
diaphragm spring (4).

The diaphragm spring (4) pivots on the bearing rings
(7) and fulcrum posts (6) causing the pressure plate
(5) to release the clamping force on the friction plate
and linings (2).

As the the clamping force is removed from the friction
plate (2), the plate slides on the splines of the primary
shaft (15) and takes up a neutral position between the
flywheel (1) and the pressure plate (5), thus
disconnecting the drive between the engine and the
gearbox.
