5. Clutch

Except for replacement or adjustment of the clutch cable, any repairs to the clutch require that the transaxle be removed from the car. The flywheel and the clutch assembly remain bolted to the crankshaft when the transaxle is separated from the engine.

The clutch release bearing and its related parts are located at the opposite end of the transaxle, and operate the clutch by means of a pushrod running through the center of the main shaft. Fig. 5-1 is an exploded view of the clutch components.
