A clutch kit is a selection of parts that are used to replace a broken clutch or upgrade an existing assembly. Each kit comes with a clutch disc and a clutch pressure plate. A flywheel, alignment tool, and release bearing, pilot bearing/bushing, and spline lubricant may also be included.
There are many types of clutch designs pending on the application. Most automotive clutches are a dry single plate clutch with two friction surfaces. No matter the application, the function and purpose of a clutch is to transmit torque from a rotating driving motor to a transmission.
Clutches require a mode of actuation in order to break the transmission of torque. The clutch pedal is a method of leverage to disengage drive from the engine to transmission from within the vehicle. The pedal translates a parabolic swing of the clutch pedal into a linear movement. This linear movement is then translated to movement of the thrust bearing by displacement of either mechanical linkages, cable or hydraulic fluid.
