Clutch parts
1. Flywheel; 2. guide bearing; 3. Fork; 4. Bracket; 5. Release bearing; 6. Clutch cover; 7. Friction disc
The clutch is dry, single-plate diaphragm type with hydraulic drive.
The main and working cylinders are connected in series to the hydraulic drive circuit, through which the force is transmitted from the pedal to the fork and to the clutch release bearing.
Clutch adjustment is automatic.
Indications of clutch wear are slippage and a characteristic howling sound when the gear is engaged. In this case, significant wear of the flywheel and pressure plate is possible.
Friction disc wear depends on driving habits, wear accelerates the frequent use of slip, or jerky driving due to "throwing" pedals. Approximately the friction disc should be changed after 64,000 km.
It is recommended that the following preliminary checks be performed to determine the condition of the clutch.
1. Check fluid level, refill if necessary (if the tank is empty, then add fluid and bleed the hydraulic drive).
2. To check for clutch slip, depress the pedal while the engine is idling, and after a few seconds, engage reverse gear. A rattle will indicate increased wear on the pressure or friction discs.
3. Check the completeness of the clutch disengagement.
4. To do this, with the engine running, press the clutch pedal so that the pedal does not reach the floor by 13 mm.
5. Shift from 1st gear to reverse several times. Difficult shifting indicates worn parts.
6. Check the stroke of the slave cylinder with the pedal fully depressed. If the stroke is small, then check the fluid level.
7. Check the condition of the guide bearing, make sure the clutch fork has no play on the axle.
