Which system does the clutch belong to?

[LaJayla]

Clutch belongs to the transmission system. The components of the clutch system include: flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disc, release bearing, release fork, clutch cable, and clutch pedal. The clutch is installed between the engine and the transmission, serving as the assembly component in the automotive drivetrain that directly connects with the engine. Typically, the clutch is mounted together with the engine crankshaft's flywheel assembly, acting as the component that cuts off and transmits power between the engine and the vehicle's drivetrain. The functions of the automotive clutch are: to gradually increase the driving force of the vehicle, ensuring smooth starts; temporarily separating the engine and transmission for gear shifting; preventing overload in the transmission system; reducing torsional vibration impacts from the engine, thereby extending the lifespan of transmission gears. The working principle of the clutch is: rigid connection cannot be used between the driving and driven parts of the clutch. When the inner ring is fixed, the outer ring rotates clockwise without locking the wedge block, allowing the outer ring to rotate freely; when the outer ring rotates counterclockwise, the wedge block locks, preventing the outer ring from rotating.
