Clutch Controls

Clutch Controls

The clutch control system consists of the following components:

- Clutch pedal
- Clutch master cylinder
- Clutch slave cylinder
- Clutch hydraulic fluid tube

The clutch control system actuates the clutch system. When the clutch pedal is depressed, it pushes the clutch master cylinder plunger, which transmits hydraulic pressure to the clutch slave cylinder. The clutch slave cylinder engages and compresses the clutch pressure plate diaphragm spring, releasing the pressure on the clutch disc, which disengages the transmission from the engine.

The hydraulic clutch system adjusts automatically to compensate for clutch disc wear.

The Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) switch is attached to the clutch pedal via the push rod assembly. Depressing the clutch pedal manually closes the switch and allows engine cranking. The switch also deactivates the speed control system and signals the speed control servo when the clutch pedal is depressed.
