33-1-6 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
General
The clutch system is a diaphragm type clutch operated by a hydraulic cylinder. The drive plate is of the rigid centre
type with no integral damping springs. The flywheel is of the dual mass type with damping springs integral with the
flywheel. The clutch requires no adjustment to compensate for wear.
Hydraulic clutch
The hydraulic clutch comprises a master cylinder, slave cylinder and a hydraulic reservoir. The master and slave
cylinders are connected to each other hydraulically by plastic and metal pipes. The plastic section of the pipe allows
ease of pipe routing and also absorbs engine movements and vibrations.
The master cylinder comprises a body with a central bore. Two ports in the body connect the bore to the hydraulic
feed pipe to the slave cylinder and the fluid reservoir. The bore is also connected to a damper which prevents engine
pulses being transferred hydraulically to the clutch pedal. A piston is fitted in the bore and has an external rod which
is attached to the clutch pedal with a pin. Two coil springs on the clutch pedal reduce the effort required to depress
the pedal.
The master cylinder is mounted on the bulkhead and secured with two bolts. The cylinder is connected to the shared
brake/clutch reservoir on the brake servo by a braided connecting hose.
The slave cylinder is located on the left hand side of the gearbox housing and secured with two bolts. A heat shield
is fitted to protect the underside of the slave cylinder from heat generated from the exhaust system. The slave cylinder
comprises a cylinder with a piston and a rod. A port in the cylinder body provides the attachment for the hydraulic feed
pipe from the master cylinder. A second port is fitted witha bleed nipple used for removing air from the hydraulic
system after servicing. The piston rod locates on a clutch release lever located in the gearbox housing. The rod is
positively retained on the release lever with a clip.
Clutch mechanism
The clutch mechanism comprises a flywheel, drive plate, pressure plate, release lever and a release bearing. The
clutch mechanism is fully enclosed at the rear of the engine by the gearbox housing.
A clutch release bearing sleeve is attached in the gearbox housing with two bolts and located on two dowels. A spigot
with a ball end is formed on the release bearing sleeve and provides amounting and pivot point for the clutch release
lever. A dished pivot washer is located on the ball of the spigot. When the release lever is located on the ball, the pivot
washer seats against the rear face of the release lever. A spring clip is located on the lever and the pivot washer and
secures the lever on the spigot. A small bolt retains the spring clip in position.
The release lever is forked at its inner end and locates on the clutch release bearing carrier. The outer end of the
release lever has a nylon seat which locates the slave cylinder piston rod. A second nylon seat, positioned centrally
on the release lever, locates on the ball spigot of the release bearing sleeve and allows the release lever to pivot freely
around the ball.
The clutch release bearing locates on the clutch release lever and release bearing sleeve. The bearing is retained on
a carrier which has two flats to prevent the carrier rotating on the release lever. A clip retains the release lever on the
carrier. The bearing and carrier are not serviceable individually.

33-1-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The dual mass flywheel is used to insulate the gearbox from torsional and transient vibrations produced by the engine.
The flywheel comprises primary and secondary flywheels with the drive between the two transferred by a torsional
damper which comprises four coil springs. The springs are located in the inside diameter of the primary flywheel. Two
of the springs are of smaller diameter and fit inside the larger diameter springs.
The primary flywheel locates the ring gear and is attached to the crankshaft flange with eight bolts. The two pairs of
coil springs are located in a recess in the flywheel between two riveted retainers. A roller bearing is pressed onto the
central boss of the primary flywheel and retained with a riveted plate. The bearing provides the mounting for the
secondary flywheel.
The secondary flywheel comprises two parts; an outer flywheel which provides the friction surface for the clutch drive
plate and an inner drive plate which transfers the drive from the primary flywheel, via the coil springs, to the outer
flywheel. The two components of the secondary flywheel are secured to each other with rivets. The inner drive plate
is located between the two pairs of coil springs and can rotate on the ball bearing in either direction against the
combined compression force of the four coil springs. Under high torque loading conditions the secondary flywheel can
rotate in either direction up to 70
° in relation to the primary flywheel.
The operating face of the secondary flywheel is machined to provide a smooth surface for the drive plate to engage
on. Three dowels and six studs and nuts provide for the location and attachment of the pressure plate.

+ CLUTCH - Td5, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Hydraulic operation.
When the clutch pedal is depressed, the master cylinder piston is pushed into the master cylinder. The movement of
the piston pressurises the fluid in the master cylinder, forcing the pressurised fluid into the hydraulic feed pipe to the
slave cylinder. The hydraulic pressure is felt at the slave cylinder piston which moves under the hydraulic force
applied, pushing the clutch release lever via the piston rod.
When the clutch pedal is released, the force applied to the release lever by the fingers of the diaphragm, moves the
release lever, which pushes the slave cylinder piston into the cylinder. The displaced hydraulic fluid is pushed up the
hydraulic feed pipe and returns to the master cylinder.
Mechanism operation
When the clutch pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure extends the piston and rod in the slave cylinder. The
extension of the piston pushes the rod against the outer end of the release lever which pivots around the ball spigot.
The inner end of the release lever pivots towards the engine applying pressure to the release bearing. The release
bearing slides along the release bearing sleeve and pushes on the fingers of the diaphragm. The diaphragm pivots
around the chamfered rivets in the cover. As the diaphragm is deflected, it removes pressure from the pressure plate.
The pressure plate moves away from the drive plate assisted by the three leaf springs.
The removal of force from the pressure plate on the drive plate reduces the friction between the dual mass flywheel,
drive plate and pressure plate. The drive plate slips between the flywheel and the pressure plate preventing rotary
movement being transferred from the flywheel and pressure plate to the primary driveshaft.
When the clutch pedal is released, hydraulic force is removed from the piston in the slave cylinder. This allows the
fingers of the diaphragm to push the release bearing along the release bearing sleeve. The movement of the release
bearing moves the release lever which pivots on the ball spigot, pushing the piston and rod back into the slave
cylinder.
The removal of pressure from the release bearing on the diaphragm, causes the diaphragm to pivot around the
chamfered rivets in the cover. The force applied to the pressure plate from the diaphragm overcomes the force of the
leaf springs and the pressure plate moves towards the drive plate and flywheel.
The pressure plate applies pressure to the drive plate which is pushed against the flywheel. As the clutch pedal is
progressively released, the friction between the drive plate, flywheel and pressure plate increases. The increase in
friction transfers the rotary movement of the flywheel and pressure plate to the drive plate, which in turn starts to rotate
the primary drive shaft. When the clutch pedal is released fully, the force applied by the diaphragm to the pressure
plate forces the drive plate onto the flywheel with no slippage.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 33-2-9
The drive plate is of the spring centred type and is sandwiched between the pressure plate and the flywheel. The drive
plate has a splined hub which engages with the splines on the primary drive shaft from the gearbox. The hub is located
in an inner plate which contains six compression damper springs. A spring retainer plate and a disc adaptor are
secured together with stop pins which limit the angular deflection of the disc adaptor. Engine power is transmitted from
the disc adaptor to the damper springs. The damper springs then transfer the power to the retainer plate and the hub.
Friction washers are located between the hub, retainer plate and disc adaptor and provide further damping.
A spring steel plate is riveted to the disc adaptor and provides the attachment surface for the drive plate friction
material. The friction material comprises discs which are secured with rivets to each side of the plate. The rivets are
installed through recessed holes in the disc and emerge in recessed holes in the opposite disc. The drive plate is 267
mm (10.5 in) diameter and has a friction material manufactured from APTEC T385.

+ CLUTCH - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Hydraulic operation.
When the clutch pedal is depressed, the master cylinder piston is pushed into the master cylinder. The movement of
the piston pressurises the fluid in the master cylinder, forcing the pressurised fluid into the hydraulic feed pipe to the
slave cylinder. The hydraulic pressure is felt at the slave cylinder piston which moves under the hydraulic force
applied, pushing the clutch release lever via the piston rod.
When the clutch pedal is released, the force applied to the release lever by the fingers of the diaphragm, moves the
release lever, which pushes the slave cylinder piston into the cylinder. The displaced hydraulic fluid is pushed up the
hydraulic feed pipe and returned to the master cylinder.
Mechanism operation
When the clutch pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure extends the piston and rod in the slave cylinder. The
extension of the piston pushes the rod against the outer end of the release lever which pivots around the ball spigot.
The inner end of the release lever pivots towards the engine applying pressure to the release bearing. The release
bearing slides along the release bearing sleeve and pushes on the fingers of the diaphragm. The diaphragm pivots
about the fulcrum rings in the cover. As the diaphragm is deflected, it removes pressure from the pressure plate. The
pressure plate moves away from the drive plate assisted by the three leaf springs and retractor clips.
The removal of force from the pressure plate on the drive plate reduces the friction between the flywheel, drive plate
and pressure plate. The drive plate slips between the flywheel and the pressure plate preventing rotary movement
being transferred from the flywheel and pressure plate to the primary driveshaft.
When the clutch pedal is released, hydraulic force is removed from the piston in the slave cylinder. This allows the
fingers of the diaphragm to push the release bearing along the release bearing sleeve. The movement of the release
bearing moves the release lever which pivots on the ball spigot, pushing the piston and rod back into the slave
cylinder.
The removal of pressure from the release bearing on the diaphragm, causes the diaphragm to pivot around the
fulcrum rings in the cover. The force applied to the pressure plate from the diaphragm overcomes the force of the leaf
springs and the pressure plate moves towards the drive plate and flywheel.
The pressure plate applies pressure to the drive plate which is pushed against the flywheel. As the clutch pedal is
progressively released, the friction between the drive plate, flywheel and pressure plate increases. The increase in
friction transfers the rotary movement of the flywheel and pressure plate to the drive plate which in turn starts to rotate
the primary driveshaft. When the clutch pedal is released fully, the force applied by the diaphragm to the pressure
plate forces the drive plate onto the flywheel with no slippage.

MANUAL GEARBOX - R380
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 37-7
Description
General
The R380 all synchromesh gearbox has five forward speeds and reverse and is mounted in line with the engine. The
clutch bell housing is bolted to the front of the gearbox and the transfer box is mounted at the rear.
Gearbox casings
Gearbox casings consist of a front cover, gearcase, centre plate and extension housing. All casings with the exception
of the front cover are located to each other by dowels and sealed. Gearbox filler/level and drain plugs are located in
the gearcase.
Reverse lamp switch
A reverse lamp switch is inserted into the extension housing. Selection of reverse gear will close the switch allowing
current from fuse 25 to flow through the switch to illuminate the reverse lamps. The switch also provides a feed to the
BCU and the automatic interior mirror - if fitted; the mirror moving to the dimming position.
Gearchange assembly
The gearchange assembly is bolted to the top of the gearcase, the upper gear lever being attached to the lower gear
lever by means of a clamp bolt. The lower gear lever ball is housed in a Railko bush inserted in the gear change
housing, the end of the lever locating in the selector yoke which is attached to the end of the selector shaft. Bias
springs provide a positive return of the gear lever to the neutral position with selection of 1st/2nd and 5th/reverse gears
being against bias spring pressure. Spring loaded detent balls fitted in the centre plate locate in grooves in the selector
shaft to provide positive gear and neutral selection.
Lubrication
Lubrication is by an oil pump located in the extension housing and driven by the layshaft with additional lubrication
being provided by splash. The pump directs oil via a filter and internal drillings in the output shaft to lubricate the
components. On non UK and non European models, provision for oil cooling is by means of a thermostat housed in
a cover bolted to the side of the extension housing. The cover incorporates tappings for connections to an oil cooler.
On UK and European models, the thermostat and cover are replaced by an oil by-pass block.
Internal pressures produced within the gearbox are vented to atmosphere via a plastic breather pipe. The pipe is
attached to the extension housing and is routed across the top of the gearcase and secured at the open end by a clip
attached to the engine cylinder block.
Selector shaft and forks
Selector forks for 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th and 5th/reverse gears are located on a single selector shaft; the 1st/2nd and 3rd/
4th selector forks are inside the main gearcase whilst the 5th/reverse selector fork is inside the extension housing.
Each of the selector forks locates inside its corresponding synchromesh hub.
Synchromesh assemblies
Each synchromesh assembly is located on the output shaft adjacent to its corresponding gears and comprises a
synchromesh ring, hub, slippers and sleeve. The hubs and slippers are retained in the sleeves by means of spring
clips. 1st/2nd and 3rd synchromesh assemblies are fitted with double synchromesh rings whilst 4th, 5th and reverse
assemblies are fitted with single rings.
