1. During automobile starting, it helps the engine to be engaged with drive train and enables smooth starting.
2. During gear shifting, it separates engine from drive train, reduces the impact between gears in transmission for easy
shifting.
3. When there are heavy dynamic load, the clutch will skid to protect power train system and avoid excessively heavy load
on it.

1. Clutch Function
Section 1 Structure of Clutch and Its Operating Mechanism
The clutch is composed of driving part compo, driven part compo etc,.
This clutch is a single plate, dry type, diaphragm spring clutch. See its structure in Fig. 327.
1. Pressure Plate Assy.
The pressure plate with diaphragm spring is fixed on engine crankshaft flywheel via clutchcover. The lug on the rim of the
pressure plate extends into the aperture of the cover and can slide along the axis of the aperture. The projection will take
the pressure plate to rotate through the clutch cover when the flywheel rotates. The pressure spring is a diaphragm spring
made of stamped high-grade spring steel sheet. Near the center there are radial cuts which form elastic lever. The outer
rim of the diaphragm is pressed on the pressure plate to make pressure plate, flywheel and driven plate pressed together.
The clutch pressure plate is shown in Fig. 328.

2.Driven Plate Assy
Driven Plate Assy is assembled between pressure plate and flywheel. It
has steel sheet body with friction lining on both sides. It is connected
with transmission input shaft with slip spline. In order to reduce the
torsional vibrations of driven plate assy and power train system, there
