Will Pressing the Clutch Stop the Car?
1 Answers
Pressing the clutch does not necessarily stop the car. According to the operating principle, pressing the clutch will not make the car come to a halt. The function of the clutch is to cut off power. On a flat road, the car will gradually slow down; on a downhill slope, it will accelerate; and on an uphill slope, it will stop and then roll backward, gaining speed as it does so. The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured 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 disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transferring the power input from the engine to the transmission.
