Design Features. Kia Spectra (2004 release)

The pressure plate is mounted in a fabricated steel housing, bolted to the flywheel of the engine. The slave drive is mounted on the clutch shaft splines and gears clamped diaphragm spring between the flywheel and the pressure plate. Clutch mounted on the guide sleeve of a primary shaft of a transmission. Bearing moving the clutch fork. The follower piston of the working cylinder through a clutch release fork constantly presses the bearing housing to the diaphragm spring clutch.

Hydraulic drive clutch engagement consists of a master cylinder, slave cylinder, clutch fork, release bearing, tank and clutch pedal. The tank mounted on the master cylinder and clutch cylinders are interconnected by pipelines. In hydraulic clutch used brake fluid.

HELPFUL HINTS

In order to grip it served long and trouble-free, do not constantly keep his foot on the clutch pedal. This habit often acquired during driver training in driving schools for fear of not manage to disengage the clutch when the vehicle is stationary.

In addition to rapid fatigue feet located at all times on the pedal, the clutch is a little, but squeezed out, and the clutch disc with the slips and wear. Further, although the thrust bearing and is designed to operate in a constant rotation, when the pedal is pressed, even slightly increased pressure it experiences and its life also decreases.

For the same reason, we do not recommend for a long time to keep the clutch off (eg in traffic). If you do not have to immediately get a move on, better to include neutral gear and release the pedal.

Clutch slippage is easily determined by a tachometer. If during movement by sharp pressing an accelerator pedal turns sharply rising and then falling slightly and the car begins to accelerate, the clutch needs repair.
