The purpose of the clutch is to assist with pull-offs and gear change. The way this works is, the clutch is attached to the pressure plate which is bolted onto the fly wheel. As the clutch pedal is depressed, the pressure plate gets pushed up against the clutch plate which stops the input shaft from spinning. This allows the selectors to engage a different gear.
Good start, can you elaborate on this, what did we do on the hydraulic press. What did it prove?

On the hydraulic press, we pressed the pressure plate down which released the clutch plate from the flywheel.
ReplyDeleteWhen changing a clutch, some things to consider are:
- Firstly, you have to get rid of any surface grease/oil on the clutch plate so that it doesn't slip when engaging with the flywheel.
- Also, you must make sure that the clutch is lined up correctly. To do this you can use a clutch alignment tool.
