Function of a Manual Clutch

When the clutch pedal is pressed, a cable or hydraulic piston pushes on the release fork, which

presses the throw-out bearing against the middle of the diaphragm spring. With the spring

pushed, the clutch disc is then disconnected from the rotating ywheel that is attached to the

engine. When the pedal is released, the disc will engage contact with the ywheel and transmit

the torque from the engine to the rest of the drivetrain.

engine smoothly.

The clutch consists of three parts with dierent roles.
