Clutch Controls








Component Location
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 in turn disengages the transmission from the engine.
The hydraulic clutch system adjusts automatically to compensate for clutch disc wear.
^ The clutch pedal starter interlock switch is attached to the clutch pedal. Depressing the clutch pedal manually closes the switch and allows engine cranking.
^ The clutch pedal deactivation switch deactivates the speed control system when the pedal is depressed.
