Where is the clutch on a transverse engine?

Clutch adjustment on a transverse engine can be done under the bonnet. In this example the bonnet hinges at the front, and the master cylinder is on the front bulkhead. The adjustment is at the clutch operating lever. Some transverse engines have a self-adjusting ratchet on the clutch pedal. Transverse engines have hydraulic clutches.

Where is the clearance on a clutch located?

The clearance is usually measured either at the operating lever or at the pedal. The typical conventional clutch linkage is an inner cable sliding in an outer sheath. The top end of the cable is attached to the clutch pedal and the bottom end to the clutch operating lever.

The top end of the cable is attached to the clutch pedal and the bottom end to the clutch operating lever.

What happens if you don’t adjust the clutch?

Failure to cure this fault will quickly lead to a burned-out friction plate, and possibly a ruined pressure plate. If, however, there is too much clearance in the clutch linkage , the car tends to creep forwards when in gear with the clutch pedal fully depressed. This is known as clutch drag, and it can cause difficulties in heavy traffic.

How do you get a clutch shaft out of a bearing?

Use a 12mm socket or similar tool to drive the clutch shaft out of its bearing. Make sure the clutch gear teeth are in mesh with the main gear teeth before striking with hammer. The clutch shaft may not come free due to clearance of the bearing on the end of its shaft.
