How a Clutch Works (Manual Transmission) - The clutch system connects the engine to the transmission. It operates two shafts:
- One from the engine
- One from the transmission
Friction is used to connect these shafts so power can transfer smoothly. When you press the clutch pedal. The pressure plate pulls away from the flywheel. This disengages the engine from the transmission. Allowing for a smooth gear change. Over time, the clutch disc, pressure plate, and flywheel wear down and may need adjustment or replacement.
Hydraulic vs. Cable Clutches
Hydraulic Clutches: May need fluid checks, refills, or line bleeding
Cable Clutches: Require inspection and adjustment of cables and linkage
