SAFARI BSVI SERVICE MANUAL

CLUTCH 1 1. GENERAL INFORMATION  The main purpose of clutch is to transfer torque, disengage during shifting, allow comfortable starting and to act as an efficient vibration damper to eliminate noise and vibration in the chassis and drive train.  The clutch hydraulic system is responsible for engaging and disengaging the clutch. Depressing the clutch pedal develops hydraulic pressure in the clutch master cylinder. Hydraulic pressure is transmitted to the release bearing that is in contact with the pressure plate diaphragm spring. As hydraulic force is applied the bearing depresses the diaphragm spring inward on the fulcrums that pushes the pressure plate rearward releasing clamping force on the clutch disc. 2.
