Do automatic cars have a clutch?

[DiJayden]

Automatic transmission cars do have a clutch, but they don't have a clutch pedal. Instead, the clutch and accelerator pedal are combined. The clutch in an automatic transmission is replaced by something called a torque converter, which can lock the other end while the engine outputs torque, converting kinetic energy into internal energy. Here is some relevant information: 1. Even without a clutch pedal, automatic transmissions have a clutch, which is located inside the automatic gearbox. As the car's RPM, throttle, brakes, and speed change, the onboard computer controls the separation or engagement of the clutch plates to achieve the effect of automatic shifting. 2. As the name suggests, an automatic transmission means the driver doesn't need to shift gears manually. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the 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 with screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During gear shifting, it connects and disconnects the power between the engine and the transmission to ensure smooth shifting.
