CENTRAL SLAVE CYLINDER; CLUTCH (RENAULT)

The clutch system is made up of five major components, the flywheel, pressure plate, friction disc, throw out bearing & release system. A flywheel, directly connected to the crankshaft, spins when the engine moves. A pressure plate is connected to the flywheel & is spring loaded, performing two roles, maintaining the unity of the clutch assembly & releases tension, allowing the clutch assembly to move freely. The clutch disc is located between the pressure plate & flywheel, containing friction surfaces on both sides, allowing to build or break contact with the flywheel or pressure plate to allow a smooth operation of these parts.
