It is composed of the flywheel which holds the clutch disc,the pressureplate,diaphragm springs,the clutch cover,and input gear.The plate is held against the flywheel by the pressure springs and pushes the clutch disc against theflywheel.The clutch disc,which is sandwiched between the pressure plate and the flywheel,is mountedon the splined part of the input gear.It can move in an axial direction,but is locked in the rotationaldirection.It transmits engine power to the transmission by means of friction.Twelve coil spring areinstalled between the clutch cover and the pressure plate along the circumference,which are thepressure springs.To disengage the engine power,the force of the diaphragm spring acting on the pressure plate must beeliminated.For this purpose the release lever is installed.By depressing the clutch pedal, the releaselever pushes off the pressure plate from the clutch disc,thus providing clearance between the frictionsurfaces of the flywheel,the clutch disc,and the pressure plate.Thus the engine is disengaged.Fig.4-1 Main clutch disc.4-1
