*PRESSURE MUST BE MEASURED AT PUMP OUTLET. NOTES: Pump inlet never to exceed 8 inches/HG vacuum; inlet oil velocity not to exceed 8 ft./sec. Engine speed not to exceed 1500 RPM without special approval; pressure spikes to never exceed 10% beyond maximum rating. PUMP SPEED IS 30% FASTER THAN ENGINE SPEED. *PRESSURE MUST BE MEASURED AT PUMP OUTLET.
How does the clutch work on a manual car?
On a manual or stick shift car the clutch is what allows you to change gear. It is connected to a pedal on the floor by either a cable or a hydraulic link. The cable and the hydraulic link provide the auto-return so that after you press the pedal it comes back to its proper position and the clutch re-engages.
How often do you press the clutch pedal?
There are two basic ways a clutch fails – it either fails to disengage, or fails to engage fully. In normal, modern stop-and-go driving, you probably press the clutch pedal in every few seconds. And on that one time when you press it and the car still creeps forward, you know you have a problem.
How does the clutch pedal work on a Stick Shift Car?
