The Function of the Clutch
1 Answers
The function of the clutch: It ensures the transmission or interruption of the engine's power output between the crankshaft and the transmission device according to the driving needs of the vehicle, enabling smooth starting. More information about the clutch is as follows: 1. The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the gearbox. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the gearbox, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. 2. The clutch must be pressed when shifting gears for acceleration or deceleration. When braking at high speed, the brake should be pressed first to reduce speed, and the clutch should be pressed when the speed drops below 20 kilometers per hour. 3. The clutch functions similarly to a switch, engaging or disengaging power transmission. The clutch mechanism allows the driving part and the driven part to be temporarily separated and gradually engaged, with the possibility of relative rotation during the transmission process.
