How a car clutch works

It transmits engine power to the gearbox, and allows transmission to be interrupted while a gear is selected to move off from a stationary position, or when gears are changed while the car is moving.

Most cars use a friction clutch operated either by fluid (hydraulic) or, more commonly, by a cable. When a car is moving under power, the clutch is engaged. A pressure plate bolted to the flywheel exerts constant force, by…

The engine

The engine is the heart of your car. It is a complex machine built to convert heat from burning gas into the force that turns the road wheels. The chain of reactions which achieve that objective is set in motion by a spark, which ignites a mixture of petrol vapour and compressed air inside a momentarily sealed cylinder and causes it to burn rapidly. That is why the machine is called an internal combustion engine. As the mixture burns it expands, providing power to drive the car. To withstand its…

car clutch works: The first stage in the transmission of a car with a manual gearbox is the clutch

It to transmit engine power to the gear box, select the gear from the fixed position and allow the gear change or when the car when it moves when the interrupt transmission. Most cars use a friction clutch operated either by fluid (hydraulic) or, more commonly, by a cable. When the car under the dynamic mobile, clutch engagement. Bolted to the flywheel of the pressure plate through the diaphragm spring on the driven plate applying a constant force. Earlier cars have a series of coil springs at the back of…
