1. what is the primary reason pull - type clutches are used in heavy - duty applications?

a. pull - type clutches last longer.
b. pull - type clutches are less expensive to manufacture.
c. pull - type clutches require less pedal effort than push type.
d. pull - type clutches allow the use of a clutch brake.

1. which of the following do not affect the capacity of the clutch to handle engine power without slipping?

a. the coefficient of friction of the clutch disc material
b. the surface area of the friction discs
c. the number of friction discs
d. the type of clutch release mechanism

1. why do some clutches use two discs?

a. to increase clutch capacity
b. to allow a smoother engagement
c. to double clutch life
d. to increase flywheel inertia

1. which type of clutch release system may use a catapult fork?

a. a mechanical - linkage system
b. a hydraulic - release system
c. a cable - release system
d. an electrical system

1. which of the following clutch types provide constant pressure plate load, regardless of clutch disc wear, as long as adjustment is correct?

a. coil spring - type clutch
b. angle spring clutch
c. coaxial spring clutch
d. marcel spring clutch

1. a new clutch disc has very small springs mounted in a circle around the clutch disc hub; these springs are commonly referred to as ______ springs.

a. torsional dampening
b. anti - breakage
c. engagement cushioning
d. pre - dampening
ase technician a/technician b style

Explanation:

1. Pull - type clutches require less pedal effort compared to push - type, which is an advantage in heavy - duty applications.
2. The type of clutch release mechanism does not directly affect the clutch's ability to handle engine power without slipping. Friction - related factors like coefficient of friction, surface area, and number of discs do.
3. Using two discs in a clutch can increase its capacity to handle more power.
4. A mechanical - linkage system may use a catapult fork for clutch release.
5. Marcel spring clutches provide constant pressure plate load with correct adjustment despite disc wear.
6. The small springs around the clutch disc hub are torsional dampening springs to reduce vibrations.

Answer:

1. c. Pull - type clutches require less pedal effort than push - type.
2. d. The type of clutch release mechanism.
3. a. To increase clutch capacity.
4. a. A mechanical - linkage system.
5. d. Marcel spring clutch.
6. a. torsional dampening
