2. Flywheel
Bolted to output flange of crankshaft
Can be balanced by itself or with crank assembly
Heavy weight adds inertia
Dampens engine power pulses
Mounting for clutch pressure plate
Clutch side
Crank flange side
with balance pads
3. Clutch pieces and bits…
Pressure Plate
Driving part
Friction Plate
Driven part
Release Bearing
Pilot BearingInstallation Tool
9. Clutch Problems
Slipping Clutch
Worn Clutch Disk
Misadjusted linkage-Clutch pedal releases too high
Oil or contaminates on disk
Leaking rear engine seal, trans input shaft seal
Chattering Clutch
Warped flywheel or Hot Spots (hard areas on surface)
Been racing lately, Honda boys?
Contaminates on clutch disk
Loose motor / trans mounts
Broken Damper Springs
10. Clutch Problems
Clutch will not release or gear clash
Low fluid in clutch master cylinder
Leaking master or slave cylinder, flex hose
Air in clutch hydraulic system
Fluid level too low
Misadjusted linkage-Clutch pedal releases too low
Worn bushings, clevis pivot
Warped friction disc
Still racing…
Pilot bearing seized
11. Clutch Problems
Clutch Noise
In Neutral with clutch pedal up:
Possible input shaft bearing wear
In Neutral with clutch pedal down:
Trans gears turning slowly, should be quieter
In gear with clutch pedal down:
Possible pilot bearing dry or worn
Squeaking as clutch pedal is just being pressed:
Release (Throw-out) bearing dry
Squeaking in neutral, out of gear
Clutch pivot at release arm dry
12. RWD & FWD Manual Transmission
Let’s Take a look at how it works!
14. Purpose of Manual Transmission
To allow driver input for matching engine
torque and speed to demand
Upshifting – Accelerate vehicle to desired speed
Downshifting – Reduce vehicle speed and add
control
31. FWD Basic Design
Compact design saves weight and space
Pretty much the same concept as a RWD trans
Some engine/trans combinations cause power
flow to turn 90 deg. and exit stage left….and
right
Differential also contained in trans case, but
that’s for another day.
Trans and diff may use the same lubricating oil
39. Transmission Problems
Noise
Bearings
Noise in all gears but 4th, usually countershaft bearings
In one gear
Chipped/missing teeth
Some noise in reverse is normal due to gear design
In all gears
Low or lack of gear oil
Gear Grind
Wrong Fluid
Bad Synchronizer Ring
Poorly timed left foot work
