COMPETENCY BASED LEARNING MATERIAL

Module Title : SERVICING CLUTCH SYSTEM

PHILIPPINE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY


Garden Park Village DMSF Drive, Bajada, Davao City
HOW TO USE THIS COMPETENCY-BASED LEARNING MATERIAL
In this module, you are required to go through a series of learning
activities in order to complete each learning outcome. In each learning
outcome are Information Sheets, Self-checks, Operation Sheets, Task Sheets,
and Job Sheets. Follow and perform the activities on your own. If you have
questions, do not hesitate to ask for assistance from your facilitator.
Remember to:
 Read information sheet and complete the self-checks.
 Perform the Task Sheets, Operation Sheets, and Job Sheets until you
are confident that your outputs conform to the Performance Criteria
Checklists that follow the said work sheets.
 Submit outputs of the Task Sheets, Operation Sheets, and Job Sheets
to your facilitator for evaluation and recording in the Achievement
Chart. Outputs shall serve as your portfolio during the Institutional
Competency Evaluation. When you feel confident that you have had
sufficient practice, ask your trainer to evaluate you. The results of
your assessment will be recorded in your Achievement Chart and
Progress Chart.
You must pass the Institutional Competency Evaluation for this
competency before moving to another competency.

Clutch System Basics and Operation


By: https://www.quadratec.com/jeep_knowledgebase/article-64.htm

The parts of the clutch assembly are broken down and described along with
their function.

The clutch is an often forgotten about part of a manual transmission. A


clutch is the mechanical device that transfers all power from the engine into
the transmission of a vehicle. Without a properly operating clutch, power
transfer and gear shifting would be very difficult. The clutch is located
between the engine flywheel and the transmission. It is often housed within
the bellhousing to protect it from external contaminants. Much older
vehicles had more of a fully open design. The first section of this system
starts at the flywheel. Connected to the flywheel is the pressure plate, with
the clutch-friction disc between the two items. On the out side of the
pressure plate will be the clutch control unit, or the throwout bearing. The
throw out bearing is moved by the use of a clutch fork. The clutch fork is
operated by a slave cylinder, and the slave cylinder is control by the master
cylinder ultimately controlled by the clutch pedal. The default state of a
clutch is engaged.
Pressure Plate: The pressure plate assembly is secured to the flywheel via bolts connecting
the cover stamping to the flywheel. During engagement, the pressure plate
assembly clamps the disc assembly against the flywheel, transmitting
engine power to the transmission. During disengagement, power flow is
interrupted when the pressure plate no longer clamps the disc against the
flywheel. Instead, the pressure plate lifts away from the flywheel, creating a
gap large enough for the disc to disengage from the flywheel, enabling the
driver to shift gears.

Clutch Disc: The disc assembly is mounted to the input shaft, between the
pressure plate assembly and the flywheel. During engagement, the disc
slides forward on the input shaft and becomes solidly clamped, or
“engaged”, between the flywheel and the pressure plate assembly. During
disengagement, the disc is no longer engaged. Although the pressure plate
assembly and flywheel continue rotating, the input shaft and disc are no
longer being rotated by the engine.

Pilot Bushings: Pilot bearings and bushings serve as a guide and seat for
the transmission input shaft during engagement and disengagement when
the flywheel and pressure plate assembly turn at speeds different than the
input shaft and disc assembly, the pilot bearing rotates.
Throw-out Bearing: Release bearings are designed to pivot forward and
compress the pressure plate levers, which disengages the clutch system.
Although release bearings are all designed for the same basic function, they
come in many shapes and sizes because they must work in conjunction with
a variety of actuation systems.
