The slave cylinder converts hydraulic energy into
mechanical energy.  Hydraulic fluid supplied by the
master cylinder moves the slave cylinder piston to

actuate the shift fork.  The mechanical energy produced
by the slave cylinder is directly proportional to the
diameters of the master cylinder and the slave cylinder.

The facing is riveted to both sides of the cushioning plate.
The cushioning plate provides a longer service life by
minimizing wear and vibration at the clutch contact
surfaces.
