All manual transmission models are equipped with a diaphragm spring single plate dry clutch. The block consists of a steel cover that is bolted to the flywheel and contains the pressure plate and diaphragm spring.
The clutch disc slides freely on the transmission input shaft, and is held in position between the flywheel and pressure plate by diaphragm spring pressure. Friction pads are riveted to the clutch disc, which has a spring-loaded hub to absorb transmission shock and ensure smooth transmission of engine power when the clutch is engaged.
Depending on the specification of the vehicle, the clutch can be controlled mechanically by a cable or hydraulically by the master and slave cylinders. The clutch release mechanism consists of a pull shaft on a cable operated clutch or a release lever on a hydraulically operated clutch, a release bearing mounted in the clutch housing at the end of the gearbox.
