What does the clutch pedal mean?

[EdwardMarie]

The clutch pedal is the control device of the clutch assembly in a manual transmission car, serving as the human-machine interaction component between the vehicle and the driver. During driving lessons or normal driving, the clutch pedal is one of the five major control components in car operation and is used very frequently. For convenience, people often refer to it simply as the clutch. The correct operation of the clutch pedal directly affects the car's starting, gear shifting, and reversing. The clutch utilizes engagement and disengagement to transmit an appropriate amount of power. It consists of friction plates, spring plates, pressure plates, and a power output shaft, and is arranged between the engine and the transmission. Its function is to transfer the torque stored on the engine's flywheel to the transmission, ensuring that the appropriate driving force and torque are delivered to the drive wheels under different driving conditions. It falls under the category of the powertrain.
