Left foot for the clutch, right foot for the accelerator and brake. Clutch: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission, allowing the drivetrain to be separated or engaged at any time. Brake: Also known as braking, it refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. The general principle of braking is to fix a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and install corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the frame to generate braking torque under external force. The brake device is a mechanical braking device that can slow down the vehicle speed, also known as a decelerator.
