1. OVERVIEW

The hydraulic clutch transmits the force required to operate the clutch pedal to the concentric slave 

cylinder fitted to the clutch housing as a hydraulic pressure.

(The hydraulic pressure is transmitted in the following order: Clutch pedal - Clutch master cylinder - 

Clutch pipe - Clutch damper - Clutch pipe and hose - Concentric slave cylinder - Pressure plate - 

Flywheel.)

If a driver depress the clutch pedal, the hydraulic pressure is generated in the master cylinder. It is 

transmitted to the concentric slave cylinder through the pipe, resulting in the cylinder being forced out. 

At this time, the clutch disc is forced against the cylinder by pushing the cover. This, in turn, remove the 

flywheel from the pressure plate. As a consequence, the power from the engine will be cut off and the 

gear change can be carried out.

2. SATIC (SELF ADJUSTING TECHNOLOGY WITH 
    INTEGRATED CASSETTE)

1) System Description

▶ Function

On the conventional clutch, the pedal force 

tends to increase in proportion to the degree of 

disc run-out. However, the SATIC clutch has 

the adjusting function which activates the 

cassette system inserted to the clutch cover to 

maintain a constant pedal force and clearance 

when the disc runs out. (Unlike SAT type, 

SATIC type does not need SST for clutch cover 

removal.)

▶ Operation

Diaphragm spring rotates the adjusting 

equipment as clutch disc is wearing and so, 

pressure plate is pushed to clutch disc side at 

the amount of wear.
Disc wear (Free play) → Diaphragm spring 
(1) → Adjusting equipment (2, 3) → Pressure
