Figure 13.46. Diaphragm spring with a smaller thrust surface diameter: Diameter a before 1982 = 55 mm; after 1982 = 46 mm.
2. This larger disc has a smaller thrust surface that contacts the diaphragm spring fingers.
3. This clutch is equipped with a smaller diameter release bearing.
Figure 13.47. Release bearing thrust surface: A - Narrow thrust area for diaphragm spring only - 46 mm; B - Wide thrust surface (suitable for both types of diaphragm springs).
4. Smaller diameter release bearings should not be installed on clutches with large diaphragm spring pins.
5. However, the release bearings of early models (designed for the thumbs of the diaphragm spring) can also be used for diaphragm springs with smaller fingers, since their thrust surface is much larger.
