Push the hydraulic line into the transmission and lower the vehicle off of the jack stands with the jack. Look underneath the dash and locate the linkage on the clutch master cylinder. Push in the tabs on the bushing on the linkage then connect it to the pedal....
Step 1 Raise the vehicle with a jack, place jack stands under the frame and lower the vehicle onto them. Follow the hydraulic line from the clutch master cylinder--located next to the brake master cylinder--to the clutch slave cylinder. Step 2 Unscrew and remove the fluid supply line attac...
and rubber hose to transfer the fluid from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder when the clutch pedal is depressed and back to the master cylinder from the slave cylinder when the pedal is released. This arrangement forms a hydraulic unit that uses brake fluid as the power transfer ...
Transmission fluid serves a number of vital functions, one of which is to act as a hydraulic fluid to enable shifting. When your vehicle’s computer tells the transmission to change gears, hydraulic pressure (provided by the fluid) squeezes a series of plates together inside a clutch pack to...
Hydraulic System Now, this is where the transmission fluid works its wonders. The hydraulic system uses the fluid to control the bands, clutches, and planetary gear sets. Computer This component controls the shift points of newer automobiles. It also leads electrical solenoids in order to shift ...
Synchronizer Rings Check Every 100,000 miles Inspect for wear (if applicable to some gears) Gasket and Seal Inspection During oil changes Check for leaks and replace if necessary Gear Oil Analysis Every other oil change Analyze oil for metal particles and contaminants Clutch Insp...
Modern metalworking fluids depend on a wide range of additives that collectively optimize the performance of the fluid to protect the workpiece and the tooling. Learn about metalworking additivesHydraulic Pumps Hydraulic pumps convert mechanical energy to fluid power by pushing and moving fluid Learn...
Advantages of Dual-Clutch Automatic Transmission The car is faster since there is no interruption in power, the ride is smoother since it's all but impossible to pinpoint the moment of the gear change, and fuel economy is better because there is no power lost to inefficient shifts. It's ...
For cars with automatic transmissions, monitoring the gearbox is key to smooth driving. Keep an eye on these parameters to know how your transmission is doing: Transmission fluid temperature Current gear Torque converter hydraulic pressure Torque converter clutch slipping ...
The engine is the heart of your car. It is a complex machine built to convert heat from burning gas into the force that turns the road wheels.Read more Basics How the braking system works 0 illustrations Most modern cars have brakes on all four wheels, operated by a hydraulic system . ...
