The release fork is a central element of the clutch system. It is connected on one side with the push rod of the clutch slave cylinder and with the release bearing on the other side.
Fluid pressure is created in the master cylinder by pressing the clutch pedal. This is transferred directly to the slave cylinder through the hydraulic line.
The cylinder‘s push rod operates the release fork which moves in a specified direction at the same time due to the membrane spring of the pressure plate through the release bearing (released or pressed clutch). This means that the driving plate can run freely.
