Today we took a look at clutches , we took apart the clutch from a Toyota Corolla 3k engine.
The clutch is a mechanical device which provides for the transmission of power from one component to another.The main bits are the flywheel, clutch disc, pressure plate and the release mechanism.
It was very simple we first started by removing the clutch operating cable from the pedal and then removed the bolts which hold the bell housing to the engine which gave us access to the clutch.We inspected the pressure plate for damage/wear to the fingers, there were some amounts of wear on the fingers and also on the clutch plate we found out that it was worn, to fix this we would have replaced the clutch plate/pressure plate and release bearing if it was in a workshop situation. We then reassembled the unit , it was very easy we used a input shaft input shaft to line the clutch up and tighted the bolts to the specification and bolted back the bell housing then put the cable back.
