Where are the clutch and accelerator in a car?
1 Answers
The clutch is located on the left side, and the accelerator is on the right side. The clutch is part of the car's transmission system, installed between the engine and the gearbox, and its function is to control the separation and engagement of power. The clutch pressure plate is fixed to the engine flywheel, with the clutch disc positioned between the pressure plate and the flywheel. The accelerator, also known as the throttle, is a control device that regulates engine power. In piston aircraft engines, the throttle controls the throttle valve opening to regulate the cylinder's filling volume, determining the engine's output power. In gas turbine engines, the throttle controls the fuel regulator to measure fuel flow, determining the thrust generated by the engine.
