Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the TLE-IA-AUTOMOTIVE SERVICING NC 1 Alternative Delivery

Mode (ADM) Module on the Parts of the Clutch!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by

educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher
or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and

The module 2 - Parts of the Clutch. TLE_IAAS10PM-IIIa-d-1.1

At the end of the module, you should be able to:

1.Explain the parts of the clutch.

2.Understand the functions and parts of a clutch.
3.Give importance of a clutch system.

1
 What I Know

Direction: Based on your prior knowledge, answer the following questions.

1. What is the role of flywheel and clutch cover assembly in the clutch system?

What’s In

PARTS OF THE CLUTCH

Automotive clutch consists of 3 major parts. These are the flywheel, clutch disc and
pressure plate assembly.

Parts of the clutch in the modern clutch has four main components: the cover plate
(which incorporates a diaphragm spring), the pressure plate, the driven plate, and the
release bearing.

 What’s New

Below is the drawing of the clutch with label. Try to supply the missing label
from 1 to 5. Use your activity notebook for your answers.

Notes to the Teacher

Teacher is recommended to design an activity to recognize
prior learning of the students or you may have some
motivational activities to incorporate at the start of this
module.

 What is It

Parts of the clutch

FLYWHEEL, Flywheel is the part permanently fixed to the engine’s crank.

Friction Surface. The face of the fly wheel has a rough surface and the clutch
plate acts against it.
On a vehicle with manual transmission, a heavy metal wheel attached to the
engine crankshaft which rotates with it; helps smooth out the power surges from
the power strokes and serves as part of the clutch. The flywheel and pressure
plate are the drive or driving members. They attach to and rotate with the engine
crankshaft.

CLUTCH DISC

It is necessary that the clutch disc transmit power smoothly and once it is
engaged, it transmits power continuously without slipping. The clutch disc must
be built in such a way that, when the power is disconnected, this can be done
accurately as well as quickly.
The clutch disc consists of the facing, which is a friction material (usually it is
made of asbestos) riveted onto both side of the disc circumference and a hub in
the center, which receives the input shaft of the transmission.

4
CLUTCH COVER ASSEMBLY OR PRESSURE PLATE ASSEMBLY

Since the clutch cover assembly is fitted to the flywheel of the engine and rotates
integrally with the engine, it must be well-balanced for good rotation. In addition,
it must have good capacity to radiate heat from the engaged clutch.
Clutch covers are divided in two types depending on the type of springs used for
pushing the pressure plates against the clutch disc: those having a diaphragm
and those with coil springs.
While the diaphragm spring type clutch cover is used frequently today, the coil
spring type clutch cover is also used in some heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
