The role of the clutch



Combustion engines have one problem: they deliver usable power only within a very specific engine speed range - completely unlike electric motors or steam engines. That means that engine speed, transferable engine power and transmission must be able to work in all sorts of driving conditions - and that's the role of the clutch. It works by connecting or disconnecting the engine drive and the transmission.  When you depress the clutch pedal the engine drive  is disconnected and you can change gear. The clutch also enables the smooth and gentle starting of cars.
