What are the operating mechanisms of a clutch?

[Murphy]

The operating mechanisms of a clutch include: clutch pedal, release rod, release fork, adjusting fork, release sleeve, release bearing, release lever, and return spring. 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. The maintenance methods for the clutch are: 1. When the friction plates, driving plates, or pressure plate inside the clutch are contaminated with oil or rust, they should be disassembled to remove the oil and cleaned thoroughly with gasoline; 2. Minimize stepping on the clutch to prevent clutch slippage and burning of the clutch plates; 3. Check the friction plates for exposed rivet heads, cracks, breakage, or large areas of scorching, and replace with new friction plates if necessary; 4. Before installing the clutch, it must be thoroughly cleaned to remove anti-rust grease and debris.
