Working of hydraulically operated clutch:

A hydraulically operated clutch mechanism is shown in the figure.The mechanism consists of master and slave cylinders.The cylinders are connected by hydraulic lines.When the clutch pedal is pressed the fluid under pressure from the master cylinder reaches the slave cylinder which is mounted on the clutch itself.The fluid under pressure actuates the slave cylinder push rod which further operates the clutch release fork to disengage the clutch.In India,this type of clutch has been used in Standard 20,Swaraj Mazda and Eicher Mitsubishi's vehicles etc
