1 Answers
The clutch consists of four main parts: the driving part, the driven part, the pressing part, and the operating mechanism. The detailed structure of each part is as follows: 1. Driving part: includes the flywheel, pressure plate, and clutch cover; 2. Driven part: includes the driven disc and driven shaft; 3. Pressing part: consists solely of the pressure spring; 4. Operating mechanism: includes the release lever, release lever support post, swing pin, release sleeve, release bearing, clutch pedal, etc. The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During vehicle operation, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission.
