Modular Clutch
MODULAR CLUTCHDESCRIPTION
Manual transaxle equipped vehicles utilize a modular clutch assembly (Fig. 30). The transaxle must be removed to gain access to and replace the modular clutch, drive plate, and/or clutch release bearing and lever.
The modular clutch assembly used in this vehicle consists of a single, dry-type clutch disc, a diaphragm style clutch cover, and an integrated flywheel. The clutch cover is riveted to the flywheel, containing the clutch disc within. The modular clutch can only be serviced as an assembly.
The clutch disc has cushion springs riveted to the disc hub assembly. The clutch disc facings are riveted to the cushion springs. The facings are made from a non-asbestos material.
The clutch cover pressure plate assembly is a diaphragm type unit with a one-piece diaphragm spring with multiple release fingers. The pressure plate release fingers are preset during manufacture and are not adjustable.
