Transmission Components

  Parts of a Clutch

Mainly there are two types of the Clutch System:

·         Hydraulic Clutch System

·         Mechanical Clutch System

·         Hydraulic Clutch System: This type of clutch system works with a number of hydraulic transmission components. This is to actuate the clutch at the time when the pedal is pushed in. The hydraulic clutch system also has various parts like clutch master cylinder, clutch pedal, plastic piping, hydraulic metal and the slave cylinder of the clutch.

There is no air between the master cylinder to the slave cylinder as it is a closed system. There would be a push in the slave cylinder of the pedal of the clutch which is caused by the fluid. There should be a replacement of the fluid on a regular basis as the brake fluid is changed.

·         Mechanical Clutch System: This type of clutch system is the least expensive and the simplest mode of clutch actuation. This can be easily actuated manually or by foot. Once the unit is engaged, there will be a connection in the system because the mechanical clutches have a locking system.

Summary: The clutch system as a part of the Transmission Components is among the one of the most important parts of a car. This helps in the shifting of a gear in the car when it is in motion or about to move. In the old models of vehicles, there was a mechanical clutch system as that needed a proper adjustment in order to maintain a proper gap between the pressure plate and the clutch release bearing. But the new models of vehicles have a self-adjusting feature and hence these are built with hydraulic systems.
