Which One is the Clutch in a Manual Transmission Car?

[VonEva]

The clutch is located inside 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. The functions of the clutch are as follows: 1. Ensuring smooth vehicle starting: This is the primary function of the clutch. Before starting the car, the engine must naturally be started first. When the car starts, it accelerates gradually from a completely stationary state. 2. Achieving smooth gear shifting: Before shifting gears, the clutch pedal must be pressed to interrupt the power transmission, making it easier to disengage the meshing pair of the original gear. At the same time, the speed of the meshing part of the new gear pair gradually tends to synchronize, which can greatly reduce the impact during meshing, thereby achieving smooth gear shifting.
