The main part consists
of the three components
as the power cylinder,
control valve, and a
hydraulic cylinder.

SPLINE HUB
DAMPER SPRING
Maintaining uniform contact with the flywheel and pressure
plate.
The friction face smoothly transmits torque -and at the same
time preventing deformation and damage to the clutch plate
itself.
The damper springs are designed to absorb and alleviate
impactwhen torque is suddenly transmitted from the rear axle.

RETURN SPRING
Constantly transmitting force from the engine to the transmission.
Deformation against centrifugal force is prevented by the
spring guide.

The springs allow a variety of spring coefficients to be
obtained through the suitable selection of plate thickness and
height.
2. Troubleshooting
Trouble Causes Chart
Clutch disc
Facing wear
Oil stuck to facing
Decreased friction coefficient due to heat
Clutch control
No play in the master cylinder
No play in release lever part
Faulty return (all control parts)
Riding the clutch
Frequent half-clutching
Driving-related causes
Pressure plate wear, damage, or deformation
Flywheel wear, damage, or deformation
Clutch spring deterioration
Clutch unit-related causes
Clutch slip
1. Clutch slip
Cause diagnosis
Clutch disc
Friction coefficient drop due to heat
The facing friction coefficient drops when the Ubun type facing
surface temperature rises.

Wear Volume Versus Temperature (Example)
Furthermore, as the temperature increases, the amount
of facing wear also increases rapidly.

pressure-related causes)
Clutch unit-related causes Clutch disc-related causes
Faulty declutching
Clutch control
(mechanical causes)
Air mixed into clutch fluid
Faulty master cylinder cap seal
Faulty clutch booster cap seal
Faulty clutch booster air pressure
Faulty clutch booster air seal
Pedal height is too low
