Clutch Operating Members. Geo Tracker - 4WD 1996

For 1990-2009 cars

The operating members control clutch engagement/disengagement and are known as the clutch release system. The clutch release system consists of:

• | The clutch release bearing.

• | The clutch release shaft.

• | The clutch release lever.

• | The clutch cable.

• | The clutch pedal shaft arm.

• | The clutch pedal.

When the clutch pedal is depressed, the clutch pedal shaft causes the clutch pedal shaft arm to turn. As the clutch pedal shaft arm turns, it pulls on the clutch cable which is connected by a clevis to the clutch pedal shaft arm. The cable pulls on the clutch release lever which turns the clutch release shaft. As the clutch release shaft turns, it pushes the clutch release bearing into the pressure plate diaphragm spring levers. This releases the pressure plate from the clutch disc and disengages the engine from the transmission.
