Clutch: Description and Operation

The hydraulic clutch control system consists of a fluid reservoir, a master cylinder, a slave cylinder and connective tubing. The clutch master cylinder converts mechanical clutch pedal movement into hydraulic fluid movement. The slave cylinder converts hydraulic fluid movement to mechanical movement to activate the clutch release lever. The hydraulic clutch system locates the clutch pedal and provides automatic clutch adjustment. Adjustment of clutch pedal position or clutch linkage is not required.
