Clutch and its components (Focus Turnier 1)

Engine flywheel: the flywheel is screwed to the crankshaft to prevent twisting.

Clutch disc (driven disc): is mounted with the possibility of axial displacement and is stable against twisting on the input shaft of the gearbox. Friction linings are riveted on both sides of the steel disc. The outer diameter of the clutch disc in the Focus has different dimensions, depending on the engine: 1.4 / 1.6 l Zetec-SE - 210 mm; 1.8/2.0 l Zetec-E - 220 mm; 1.8L Endura DI - 228mm.

Clutch pressure plate (clutch automatic): is screwed to the flywheel so that it is resistant to twisting. Presses the floating clutch disc to the flywheel by means of a disc spring.

Release bearing (in all Focus models it is integrated directly into the clutch master cylinder). It is located with the possibility of axial displacement on the release shaft. The pressing force created by the clutch pedal is transferred to the disc spring of the clutch pressure plate. Due to this, the pressure plate is unloaded - the driven disk loses the contact pressure to the engine flywheel.

Regulating automation: all Focus models have a hydraulically operated clutch that automatically adjusts the specified clutch pedal clearance. No cumbersome installation work is required. If your Focus clutch is slipping, you should assume that it needs to be replaced or that the pressure valve at the clutch hydraulic input is stuck.
