Manual Transmission and Clutch

Manual Transmission and Clutch
The manual transmission has a tag to identify assemblies for repair purposes.

The purpose of the clutch is to connect and disconnect a manually operated transmission, and the remainder of the driveline system, from the engine. This allows starting and stopping the vehicle, shifting and changing speeds that correspond to the engine speed through gear reductions.

The clutch operating mechanism consists of:
^ Flywheel
^ Clutch disc
^ Clutch pressure plate
^ Clutch release hub and bearing
^ Clutch master cylinder
^ Clutch slave cylinder
^ Clutch reservoir
