The clutch control system is a hydraulic/mechanical clutch system. The clutch control system disengages the clutch when the clutch pedal is pressed and engages the clutch when the clutch pedal is released. When the clutch pedal is pressed, pressure builds up in the clutch master cylinder and the release bearing in the clutch slave cylinder is actuated.
The advantages of a hydraulic clutch system are:
- Automatic adjustment
- Low operating effort
- Minimal wear
A self-adjusting clutch system eliminates the need for maintenance adjustments. It provides for consistent pedal height throughout the service life of the clutch.
