CLUTCH IN VEHICHLES-Clutch is thefirst part of the

transmission system. It is mounted between


the engine and the gear box. Clutch is
a mechanism that helps to rotate the
rotation from a shaft to another shaft on
the same axis and engage and disengage engine power.

Clutch manufacturer-
Magneti Marelli SpA
 ZF Friedrichshafen
 Valeo
 Eaton Corporation PLC
 WABCO Holdings Inc.
 Exedy Corporation
 Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd
 BorgWarner Inc.
 Schaeffler AG
 JATCO Ltd
Functions of
the Clutch
• When the power from the engine is
needed, it will connect and disconnect
the gear box.
• When the Engine is not working, it will
help to start the vehicle by pushing

Principle of the
Clutch
Clutch works on the principle of
friction. When the rotating disk C connects
with disk D, both will start to rotate. This
is the basic principle in Clutch
Qualities of
Good Clutch
1. Should have high torque transmission.
2. Should join in step-by-step.
3. Should be a good transfer of heat.
4. Operating balance is required.
5. Should be able to bear the shocks.
6. Should have free pedal play.
7. Should be easy to operate.
8. Should be in simple construction,
cheap in cost and high working life.
9. Low space should be adequate.
10. Should have high co-efficient of friction
Clutch Lining
The two ends of the clutch lining
and clutch plate are attached with the
help of rivets or some special glue. The
clutch lining is made up of following
materials.
1. Asbestos
2. Reybestos
3. Fibre
4. Leather
5. Cork
Types of Clutch
1. Single plate clutch
2. Multi plate clutch
3. Diaphragm clutch
4. Centrifugal clutch
5. Hydraulic clutch
6. Fluid flywheel clutch
7. Electric clutch
Maintenance
methods of clutch
1. Clutch pedal free-play should be
checked and changed periodically.
2. Should check and adjust the gap in
between clutch plate and pressure
plate. (Note: gap should be 0.3 mm to
0.5 mm)
3. Clutch lining should be checked in
periodically. If any problem finds, it
should be cured.
4. Should not operate the clutch by
keeping legs continuously.
5. Clutch surfaces should be free from oil
and grease.
6. Clutch adjustment should be done
periodically.
7. Clutch linkages should be checked
periodically.

CLUTCH REPLACEMET PERIOD-

Most clutches will need to be replaced between 50,000 to


100,000 miles. However, you may need to replace your
clutch sooner, depending on how you use your vehicle
The cost of repairing your car’s clutch may vary depending on
the observed signs. If slippage is the issue, the repair cost
could range from Rs 8,000 to Rs 12,000. In more expensive
cars, this cost can escalate to as high as Rs 50,000

STEP 1: PARK CAR IN A SECURE POSITION. ...


STEP 2: GET THE TRANSAXLE READY TO REMOVE. ...
STEP 3: UNBOLT UNIVERSAL JOINT
STEP 4: REPLACE THE CLUTCH. ...
STEP 5: REATTACH THE TRANSAXLE. ...
STEP 6: RELEASE THE CAR JACK.
MEASURE ENGINE FLYWHEEL HOUSING AND FLYWHEEL
Engine flywheel housing and flywheel must meet these
specifications or there will be premature clutch wear.
Remove old Pilot Bearing. All gauge contact surfaces must
be clean and dry. Use a dial indicator and check the
following:

Flywheel Face Runout Secure dial indicator base to


flywheel housing face. Put gauge finger in contact with
flywheel face near the outer edge. Rotate flywheel one
revolution. Maximum runout is .008" (.20 mm)

Flywheel Housing I.D. Runout Secure dial indicator base to


crankshaft. Put gauge finger against flywheel housing pilot
I.D. Rotate flywheel one revolution. Maximum runout i
s .008" (.20 mm)
Measure the flywheel bore.
Use a Clutch Selector Guide to verify that the damper will
fit into the flywheel bore.
2. Insert aligning tool through bearing
3. Install disc onto aligning tool. Follow the orientation
instructions on the disc. 4. Install intermediate plate into
slots on the clutch cover. Flywheel Side must face the
flywheel.
5. Install second disc onto aligning tool. Follow the
orientation instructions on the disc.
6. Install two 7/6" x 14 UNC x 5" studs into upper mounting
holes. Install assembled clutch.
7. Install lock washers and mounting bolts (7/16" x 14
UNC x 2 1/4" grade 5) finger tight. Replace studs with lock
washers and bolts.
CHECK TRANSMISSION FOR WEAR. Replace any worn
components.
1. Transmission Bearing Retainer Cap. A worn/rough
bearing retainer cap may cause the clutch brake to wear
prematurely.
2. Release Yoke. Worn fingers can cause bushing wear
and yoke interference when the pedal is down. 3. Input
Shaft. Wear (roughness) can reduce sleeve bushing life
and cause it to come out.
4. Cross Shaft and Bushings. Excessive wear at these
points can cause side loading on the sleeve bushing,
bushing failures and yoke bridge contact with the clutch
when the pedal is down.
5. Input Shaft Splines. Any wear on the splines will prevent
the driven discs from sliding freely, causing poor clutch
release (clutch drag). Slide discs full length of shaft to
check for twisted shaft splines.
6. Clutch Brake. Replace
7. Measure Input Shaft. Length should be 8.657" (219.89
mm) nominal, and not greater than 8.71" (221.23 mm). Ref.
1990 SAE handbook 4:36.106. Replace transmission
bearing retainer cap if length is greater than 8.71" (219.89
mm)

LUBRICATE Use a lithium complex base grease with a


minimum of 325°F (163°C) operating range meeting
N.L.G.I. grade 1 or 2 specs. Apply ample grease that visibly
exits the opening and contacts the transmission shaft.
This will lube the clutch brake when pedal is pressed. 7.
Apply grease to the input shaft and yoke. 8. Apply grease
to the cross shaft bushings and linkage pivot points. 9.
Grease release bearing
