What is a clutch? Schematic diagram of the three positions of the clutch
We all know that automatic transmission cars do not have a clutch, only manual transmission cars have a clutch, so what is a clutch, let's take a look at it together.
What is a clutch?
The clutch is actually the use of "off" and "on" to transmit the right amount of power. The clutch is arranged between the engine and the gearbox. When switching gears, the driver temporarily cuts off the power of the engine by stepping on the clutch pedal and hangs on the After the gear to be shifted, release the clutch pedal to restore the transmission of power, so as to achieve a smooth shift.
Clutch Position Diagram
There are three pedals in a manual car. From left to right, the leftmost is the clutch pedal, the middle is the brake pedal, and the rightmost is the accelerator pedal.

In fact, the working principle of the automobile clutch is mainly to make the engine and the transmission system frictionally transmit power through the clutch. When the clutch is stepped on, the clutch plate will be separated from the high-speed rotating flywheel. When the clutch is released, the clutch will slowly approach the high-speed rotating flywheel, and the clutch will be rotated by the force of the flywheel.
When the clutch is half-linked, there is friction between the clutch disc and the flywheel, and the power transmitted by the flywheel is not large during friction, so it can start smoothly at this time.
