Clutch unit – introduction

The clutch on all vehicles is the dry, single plate type with flexible coupling springs and a thrust release. With the exception of the Selespeed versions the clutch release is hydraulically operated through a system known as CSC.

On the Selespeed versions the clutch release takes place via conventional linkage controlled by the electro-hydraulic unit [ 2127A ( Characteristic of

working principle 2127A Hydraulic transmission external linkage)] fitted on the gearbox casing which also controls the gear selection and engagement.

On the Selespeed versions, bushes made from an anti-friction material are used for the thrust bearing sleeve operating fork in order to improve the efficiency of the movement.
