Warning! Clutch repair requires removal of the gearbox, so in this case it is also recommended to replace the clutch driven disc and clutch release drive.
The clutch is designed for short-term disconnection and smooth connection of the engine crankshaft and the primary shaft of the gearbox, starting the car from a standstill and during gear shifting without noise and risk of damage to parts. The vehicles are equipped with a dry single-disc clutch, which consists of a driven and pressure clutch disc, a central diaphragm spring, a casing and a clutch release bearing. The clutch drive is hydraulic.
The clutch is disengaged as follows.
As a result of pressing the clutch pedal, the piston in the master cylinder moves, compressing the fluid, the pressure of which is transmitted through the hose to the clutch slave cylinder, the piston of which, in turn, acts on the bearing and the clutch release fork. The release fork moves the release bearing, which presses on the center of the diaphragm spring, thus releasing the engagement force around the perimeter of the spring and moving the pressure plate rearward. This releases the driven disk, after which the engine shaft and gearbox shaft can rotate independently of each other.
Warning: Use only the recommended brake fluid and do not mix it with other types or brands of brake fluid as this will result in poor clutch performance.
