Hi all, I cant understand how the push clutch works or if I'm doing something wrong. I have not yet bled the clutch. From what I understand the release fork needs to be pulled to engage the clutch( the spring arms are on the transmission side of the fork ??) but the cylinder piston pushes it forward ?? there is no contact with the fork and piston, have I installed it incorrectly or what ?

thanks in advance

Don't really get what your trying to ask but it works when you push the clutch in, it pushes a rod in the clutch slave cylinder which pushes the fork with the throwout bearing on the end of it, onto the fingers on the pressure plate which remove the tension on the clutch disc from the flywheel. Then when you let up on the clutch its the opposite except the tension on the pressure plate is what moves it back into engaged.
