What Does Dual Clutch in Cars Mean?

[Alessandra]

The clutch is a device that transmits the engine power of a car or other power machinery to the axle in an on-off manner. The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. Working Principle of the Clutch: The clutch consists of friction plates, spring plates, pressure plates, and a power output shaft. It is situated between the engine and the transmission, used to transfer the torque stored on the engine's flywheel to the transmission, ensuring that the vehicle delivers appropriate driving force and torque to the driving wheels under different driving conditions. It falls under the category of the powertrain. Key Points for Operating the Clutch Pedal When Starting: One fast, two slow, three linkage. That is, lift the pedal quickly at the beginning, slow down slightly when the clutch reaches the semi-engagement point (at which point the engine sound changes), and then gradually lift the pedal until fully engaged. Simultaneously, as the clutch pedal is being lifted, gradually press the accelerator pedal according to the engine's resistance to ensure a smooth start of the car.
