Repair and Diagnosis: Transmission: Clutches: Description

The mechanical clutch consists of a driven plate, pressure plate, a diaphragm-type spring, and a release bearing. The driven plate is splined onto transmission clutch shaft so that it can move back and forth when clutch is disengaged and turn the shaft when clutch is engaged.

All vans have a pull rod from clutch pedal that moves a cross lever. All "P" series trucks have an upper pull rod from the clutch pedal to a bellcrank and a lower pull rod from bellcrank to lever to a cross lever. On all models, the cross lever moves clutch fork and the release bearing with an adjustable rod.
