Valeoscope - Clutch Hydraulics CSC CMC CRC 998123

5.1 In a semi-hydraulic system The clutch pedal arm operates a piston in the clutch master cylinder (CMC). This forces hydraulic fluid through a hydraulic hose to the clutch release cylinder (CRC) where another piston operates the clutch disengagement mechanism. When the vehicle is equipped with a release cylinder, the interface within the hydraulic system and the clutch is operated by a clutch fork and a release bearing. This system can be used both with push or pull type clutches. In a semi-hydraulic system, the release cylinder is located outside the transmission housing. Thus it is possible to replace the hydraulic components without removing the gearbox.
