On the new Camry cars the one-disk dry coupling with the hydraulic drive equipped with the switching off mechanism providing decrease in effort to a coupling pedal is used. This unification is introduced for increase in safety of the control system of switching off of coupling at launch of the engine. The clutch plate and a basket are optimized for use with the changed engine.

Coupling is located between the engine and the transmission and intended for separation and connection of the flywheel located on cranked to an engine shaft and a main shaft of the transmission.

Before performance of any operations on coupling it is necessary to execute several control operations to be sure that coupling is faulty.

When checking coupling, first of all, check liquid level in a tank. Check a condition of hoses and their connections. Examine coupling pedal plugs on existence of wear and reliability of fastening.
