Hydraulic Clutch

A hydraulic clutch operating mechanism is used to engage and disengage the clutch system. The mechanism consists of a remote master cylinder reservoir, a clutch master cylinder and a clutch actuator cylinder. The remote master cylinder reservoir is mounted to the left-hand hood strut bracket using a push-on retainer. The clutch master cylinder is mounted on the front of dash with a U-bolt fastener. The clutch actuator cylinder is mounted inside the flywheel housing. The clutch master cylinder is operated directly by the clutch pedal.

When the clutch pedal is pressed down, hydraulic fluid under pressure is pushed from the clutch master cylinder into the clutch actuator. On this engine the actuator piston moves the release bearing forward, pressing the diaphragm spun" fingers to disengage the clutch.

The hydraulic clutch system sets the clutch pedal height and provides automatic clutch adjustment. No adjustment of clutch or clutch pedal position is required.
