Clutch release drive cable, backlash-free (there are no gaps in the clutch drive). The clutch release cable is equipped with a ratchet mechanism to compensate for the length during operation when the lining of the clutch disc is worn (adjustment of the clutch actuator in operation is not required). The clutch pedal is mounted in a bracket mounted on the front end, on the axle through two plastic bushings. The upper part of the clutch pedal is connected to the housing of the mechanism for compensating for the wear of the clutch disc linings. The upper tip of the cable sheath is fixed to the clutch pedal bracket with a plate stop. The lower tip of the cable is fixed in a bracket mounted on the gearbox housing. The plastic leash 1 of the lower end of the cable is connected to the lever 2 of the clutch release fork. The clutch release bearing 12 is of a closed type and does not require lubrication during operation. The main parameter that determines the operation of the clutch drive is the travel of the clutch pedal until it stops against the floor mat of the body.
The travel of the clutch pedal in operation is not adjustable, it is provided by a structurally sound mechanism for compensating for the wear of the lining of the clutch disc and the correct initial installation of the drive cable (see «Replacing the clutch release cable»).
