How are brake and clutch connected?

Question

I am trying to understand how the brake and clutch systems are connected in some cars. I think in some cars the two systems are totally separate?
Anyway, is the brake booster connected to the clutch in some cars if so , how?
Is the only thing they share the fluid resoiver?

Answer 1

ON a manual car the clutch and the brake are always separate by two separate hydralic systems. they each have a master cylinder that uses brake fluid but that is a separate mastere cylinder always

Answer 2

They are not connected. If they do share a fluid reservoir this is bad design, since a clutch hydraulic leak will render the brakes inoperative - I have never seen this system. In theory there could be split reservoir which preserves some fluid for the brake system. A brake booster will not be connected to the clutch - why should it be ?

Answer 3

The brake system and the clutch system are two separate systems in autos with standard transmissions. Most autos use separate reservoirs for brake and clutch fluid but some like Audi and VW share the same reservoir.

Answer 4

BOth CLUTCH adn BRAKES are actuated by hydraulic fluid on most cars. ON some cars they SHARE a reservoir, and on other they are seperated. They ALWAYS seem to use the SAME fluid in both systems. however. ALWAYS use ONLY the genuine fluid from YOUR CAR MAKER in there, and remember that ALL brake fluid SPOIL and must be changed every 2-3 years BEFORE selas get shriveled and housings get corrupted from acids. GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 5

In a manual no, an auto the clutches are in the box and work automatically, depending of the speed.
