passes through the bell housing .
Dep.ess lng the clutch pedal actuates the clutch release leve. b.,. means of the cable . The lelease level pushes the lelease bearing
forward to bear against thO release l ingels so moving the centre of the diaphf()gm sprong within the annular rings which act as fulcrum points.
