The adjustment of the clutch is triggered if - as a result of wear to the clutch lining - the lever spring for generating a specific contact pressure is pressed through further in the direction towards the engine. As a result of the additional travel, the clamping spring lifts off the ramp ring. As a result of the pre-loaded adjustment roller spring, the ramp ring is rotated on the ramp until the clearance between the clamping spring and the ramp ring has been compensated for. If the clutch is then fully opened (i.e. disengaged) again as a result of a gearshift process, the lever spring moves into a new position due to the rotation of the ramp ring, and this creates an air gap between the lever spring and the adjustment ramp ring. As a result of the adjustment ramp ring, which is also spring-loaded, it is then rotated until it abuts against the lever spring. The adjustment process is then complete.
