ORIGINAL IMPERIUM 41209 Guide Tube, clutch

Here’s a quick explanation:

• • 1. Clutch Sleeve Hub: This is a more likely interpretation. The clutch sleeve hub is a part within the clutch assembly that the clutch center sleeve (where the clutch disc rides) sits on and rotates with. It’s essentially a bearing surface that allows the clutch center to spin freely but transmits torque from the engine crankshaft. This hub is typically bolted to the engine flywheel. You might find this part referred to as a “clutch hub” or “clutch center sleeve hub” in Suzuki literature.

    2. Throw-out Bearing Sleeve (less likely): In some hydraulic clutch systems, there might be a sleeve that the throw-out bearing rides on. This sleeve would help guide the throw-out bearing’s movement and prevent wear on contacting surfaces. However, this part wouldn’t be commonly referred to as a “clutch sleeve” by itself.

    If you’re looking for information about a specific Suzuki model and its clutch components, it would be best to consult the official Suzuki repair manual or parts catalog for that vehicle. They will use the precise terminology for each part.
