What does the car clutch mean?

[DiLuna]

The separation device between the car engine and the gearbox is the clutch, also known as the clutch assembly. Here is additional information: 1. Car clutch: Located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the gearbox, the clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of 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 gearbox. 2. Function of the clutch: The driving part and the driven part of the clutch transmit torque through friction between contact surfaces, or use liquid as a transmission medium or magnetic transmission. This allows temporary separation and gradual engagement between the two parts, permitting mutual rotation during the transmission process.
