Clutches A clutch is a mechanical device that provides for
the transmission of power (and therefore usually motion) from one component (the driving member) to another (the driven member) when engaged, but can be disengaged.
In the simplest application, clutches connect and disconnect two rotating shafts (drive shafts or line shafts). In these devices, one shaft is typically attached to a motor or other power unit (the driving member) while the other shaft (the driven member) provides output power for work. While typically the motions involved are rotary, linear clutches are also possible.
In a torque-controlled drill, for instance, one shaft is driven by a motor and the other drives a drill chuck. The clutch connects the two shafts so that they may be locked together and spin at the same speed (engaged), locked together but spinning at different speeds (slipping), or unlocked and spinning at different speeds (disengaged).

Construction of the Clutch

Flywheel boltsto crankshaft
Pressure plate & coverbolt to flywheel
If there is a chance you will be reusingpressure plate, make alignment marksto flywheel to maintain proper balanceBEFORE removal
When unbolting pressure plate from theflywheel, remove bolts evenly as not tobend the cover. REMEMBER, this is under high spring pressure.

Bolted to flywheel - Applies the spring force to clamp thefriction disk to the flywheel
(clutch fork) pushesT/O bearing to releaserotating clutch
Pilot bushing or bearing in centerof flywheel or crankshaft, supportsthe end of input shaft

Clutch terms Clutch disengaged
Clutch pedal is in or down Clutch engaged
Clutch pedal is out or up
10
What would it mean if someone said the clutch pedalIs engaged?Make sure you know if you are talking about the clutch or the clutch pedal !!!

Clutch Linkage
Can be very complicatedHave the right amount of
movement and direction without too much pedal pressure
WearMotor mountsSpring to pull T/O bearing
awayHas to be lubricated

Has pins to limit amount of twist.Springs try to keep it centered between pins.
Springs sometimes get weak and start rattling or fall out

Clutch Safety Switch Prevents from cranking with clutch
engaged Some standard transmissions won’t let
you take the key out and lock the steering column with out the transmission in reversePrevents steering lock while moving forward

Clutch Disk Replacement Very wise to:
Have flywheel surfaced (even with no run-out or hot spots)
Replace pilot bushing or bearingReplace T/O bearingReplace pressure plate (cover, plate
springs)

Clutch Disk Replacement Very wise to inspect & replace as
necessary:Clutch fork & pivotInput shaft bearing retainer on transmission
