Do Automatic Cars Have a Clutch?

[BarrettMarie]

Automatic cars do have a clutch. More details about automatic transmissions are as follows: 1. There is no clutch pedal, but the clutch and accelerator pedals are combined. The clutch in an automatic transmission is replaced by something called a torque converter, which can lock one end while the engine outputs torque, converting kinetic energy into internal energy. 2. Even though automatic transmissions don't have a clutch pedal, they still have a clutch, which is located inside the automatic transmission. As the car's RPM, throttle, brake, and speed change, the onboard computer controls the separation or engagement of the clutch plates to achieve the effect of automatic shifting. 3. As the name suggests, an automatic transmission does not require the driver to shift gears manually. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the clutch assembly fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel by screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During gear shifts, it connects and disconnects the power between the engine and the transmission to ensure smooth shifting.
