Coupling is intended for short-term separation of the engine and transmission at gear shifting or braking and their smooth connection at start-off of the car from the place, and also for protection of details of transmission from dynamic loadings.

Coupling is one-disk, dry constantly closed type with the central press spring and a quencher of tortional fluctuations on the conducted disk. In a case of the transmission the main shaft of the transmission on which the bearing which is not demanding maintenance settles down press acts, and outside of a case the lever of switching off of coupling to which the coupling cable fastens is located.

The principle of action of coupling is based on torque transmission from a flywheel and the leading part of coupling on the conducted disk, so, and on a main shaft of the transmission at the expense of friction forces which arise between disks at the included coupling. Due to elasticity of a press spring press the disk clamps in this situation among themselves and a flywheel the conducted disk with the effort which is not allowing its pro-slipping. At the same time press the bearing and a press spring do not adjoin. When pressing a coupling pedal through a cable of coupling or the hydraulic drive and a fork, the release bearing presses a press spring of a drive plate of coupling and wrings out a drive plate from a flywheel therefore the conducted disk is released and torque transmission between the engine and the transmission stops.

The leading part of coupling fastens bolts to a flywheel. The conducted clutch plate is located between a press disk and the surface of friction of a flywheel. The nave of the conducted clutch plate is established on an entrance shaft of the transmission and freely moves on shaft grooves.

In the hydraulic drive of coupling brake fluid is applied.
