– Manual Transmission Clutch Repair – |
The clutch allows us to smoothly engage a spinning engine to a non-spinning
transmission by controlling the slippage between them. When your foot is off the pedal, the springs push the pressure plate against the clutch disc, which in turn presses against the flywheel. This locks the engine to the transmission input shaft, causing them to spin at the same speed. The most common problem with clutches is that the friction material on the disc wears out. The friction material on a clutch disc is very similar to the friction material on the pads of a disc brake, or the shoes of a drum brake -- after a while, it wears away. When most or all of the friction material is gone, the clutch will start to slip, and eventually it won't transmit any power from the engine to the wheels. The clutch only wears while the clutch disc and the flywheel are spinning at different speeds. When they are locked together, the friction material is held tightly against the flywheel, and they spin in sync. It is only when the clutch disc is slipping against the flywheel that wearing occurs. Another problem sometimes associated with clutches is a worn throwout bearing. This problem is often characterized by a rumbling noise whenever the clutch engages. Always resurface the flywheel prior to installing a new clutch disc and pressure plate assembly. This ensures the clutch disc friction material seats into the flywheel properly for maximum holding capacity and service life. |

Transmission Repair & Troubleshooting |
When the clutch pedal is pressed, a cable or hydraulic piston pushes on the release
fork, which presses the throw-out bearing against the middle of the diaphragm
spring. As the middle of the diaphragm spring is pushed in, a series of pins
near the outside of the spring causes the spring to pull the pressure plate away
from the clutch disc |
