clutch parts
The clutch is an important mechanism that connects the engine to the transmission and enables gear changes. Its main components include the clutch pedal, which the driver uses to engage or disengage the clutch; the clutch disc, which is the main part that links the engine's motion to the transmission; the clutch discs, which are friction components that transmit power between the engine and transmission; the pressure plate, which compresses the clutch discs to transmit power; and the hydraulic or mechanical linkage, which transmits the pedal's motion to the pressure plate. When functioning properly, the clutch ensures smooth gear transitions and allows the engine to operate efficiently. Regular maintenance of these components is critical for the vehicle's performance.
