of the Clutch Someone read

please

Page 8: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 8

Purpose of the Clutch Allows engine to be disengaged

from transmission for shifting gears and coming to a stop

Allows smooth engagement of engine to transmission

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.

Flywheels Add weight to crank for non-power strokes Has ring-gear for cranking engine (usually

replaceable)

Clutches

Bolted to Crank

(friction disk) splined to transmissionInput shaft

(throw-out bearingT/O bearing) allowsto push on rotatingclutch fingers

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

Page 21: Clutches 2

Pressure Plate

PivotsT/O bearing

Moves pressurePlate right

Releases friction diskfrom flywheel

Clutch terms Clutch disengaged

Clutch pedal is in or down Clutch engaged

Clutch pedal is out or upWhat 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 !!!

Throw out bearings Most need clearance between fingers of

pressure plate so it isn’t spinning all the time (free play)

Riding the clutch (foot resting on pedal) Pushes T/O bearing into pressure plate fingers Causes it spin constantly

Wearing it out too soon Releases some of clutch spring pressure

Causing clutch to slip

Slipping clutch ?

Page 27: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 27

Free play Clearance between T/O bearing and

clutch fingers Measured at clutch pedal

Usually 1 ½ inches of free movement Goes away as clutch disk wears

thinner Some manufactures use T/O bearings

that always ride on the clutch fingers Usually self adjusting READ ON

44-5 Clutch Linkage Someone read please

Page 30: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 30

44-5 Clutch Linkage Can be very

complicated Have the right amount

of movement and direction without too much pedal pressure

Wear Motor mounts Spring to pull T/O

bearing away Has to be lubricated

Page 31: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 31

Over-center spring Helps pull up on

clutch pedal

Helps pull down on clutch pedal

Skip to 44-10 Hydraulic clutch

Some one read please

Page 34: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 34

Hydraulic clutch Uses master cylinder and slave

cylinder Uses brake fluid Must be bleed

Page 35: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 35

Hydraulic clutch No complicated

linkage Can easily

control mechanical advantage with piston sizes

Self lubricating No motor mount

problemsService just like you would hydraulicbrakes

Page 36: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 36

Slave cylinder

Some are adjustablefor free-play and

some not

Page 37: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 37

Ford’s slave cylinders Some are part of T/O

bearing Can’t change without pulling

tranny (inside bellhousing)

Can be a royal pain to bleed

Back to 44-6 Friction disks Someone read please

Page 41: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 41

Friction disks

Often made of asbestos

Must be put in only one way Usually

marked Clutch won’t

release if wrong

Page 42: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 42

Friction disks

Cushion springs Waved metal between clutch half's Dampen clutch engagement

Page 43: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 43

Friction disks Torsional springs

Can be spring or rubber Dampen power impulses from

crankshaft

Page 44: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 44

Torsional SpringsHas pins to limit amount of twist.

Springs try to keep it centered between pins.

Springs sometimes get weak and start rattling or fall out

Page 45: Clutches 2

Clutch disksFriction material isn’t very thick.Minimum thickness around .012”

Centrifugal Clutch The faster the RPM, the harder the

clutch disk is squeezed

44-11 Clutch safety switch Someone read please

Page 56: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 56

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 reverse Prevents steering lock while moving

forward

Think Do you know the names of the clutch parts and what they do?

How would motor mounts affect the clutch?

What pulls the clutch linkage back? What would happen if free-play is

incorrect? How would crankshaft end-play

affect the clutch? What if the pilot bushing was worn,

or seized up? What happens to free-play with

disk wear?

Clutch Disk Replacement Very wise to:

Have flywheel surfaced (even with no run-out or hot spots)

Replace pilot bushing or bearing Replace T/O bearing Replace pressure plate (cover, plate

springs)

Page 66: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 66

Clutch Disk Replacement Very wise to inspect & replace as

necessary: Clutch fork & pivot Input shaft bearing retainer on

transmission (where T/O bearing slides) Linkage, cable or hydraulic components Motor mounts Flywheel ring gear

Installing new clutch Loctite and torque flywheel to

specifications on a clean crankshaft hub

Page 69: Clutches 2

12/2001 VHS AUTO 69

Installing new clutch You must use clutch alignment tool

(pilot shaft) when bolting up pressure plate Torque and Loctite pressure plate to

specifications Use a crossing pattern to pull

pressure plate down evenly
