Abstract: An anti-rotation device for the clutch release mechanism in a pull-type manually operated clutch system. The device has a substantially planar body portion with first and second side flanges each having proximal end portions that are joined to the lateral edges of the body portion. A reaction cavity is defined between the laterally spaced, first and second side flanges so that at least one of the fingers presented from a throw fork may be cooperatively received within the reaction cavity when the throw fork is operatively positioned with respect to the clutch release bearing. A fastening clip is presented from the distal end portion of the second side flange embracingly to secure the first leg of a flange on the clutch release bearing--and the hook portion of the retainer which embraces the leg--between the second side flange and the engaging arm of the fastening clip.

Abstract: An anti-vibration system (10) for the foot pedal (11) of a hydraulic clutch release system (9) utilizes a pulse dissipating canister (30) interposed between a first conduit portion (20) and a second conduit portion (21). The first conduit portion (20) communicates between a slave cylinder (22) and the canister (30), and the second conduit portion (21) communicates between a master cylinder (15) and the canister (30). The canister (30) has a hollow interior chamber (31), which is axially bounded by laterally spaced, circular front and rear walls (32 and 34, respectively) and circumferentially bounded by an annular wall (34) which extends between the front and rear walls (32 and 33) to define the outer periphery of the canister (30). The first conduit portion (20) communicates with the hollow interior chamber (31) of the canister (30) through the center portion of the front wall (32).

Abstract: A clutch control mechanism has a fork member that is mounted for rolling action during pivoting at a fulcrum on transaxle transmissions. The mounting structure on the case includes a T-shaped member that is rotatably mounted on a stud member secured to the transmission case. The fork has a longitudinal mounting slot prependicular to the transverse pivot axis to facilitate assembly with an engine.
