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.
