An automobile clutch is a highly sophisticated mechanism
that plays an important role of engaging and disengaging
the transmission of motive power through the medium
of clutch Disc lined with friction material.
The running feel of the motor vehicle is largely determined
by the performance characteristics of the clutches.
Clutches vary in their structure and performance characteristics
depending on whether it is an automatic or manual clutch,
or whether it is a Two Wheelers or Four Wheelers clutch.
However irrespective of their shape or size, all automobiles
clutches involve the use of high level of engineering
technique.
Clutch is a device which helps
in transmitting power from engine to the gearbox
and subsequently to the drive wheels.
We need a clutch because the engine spins all the time
and the vehicle wheels don’t. For a vehicle to
stop without damaging the engine, the power being transmitted
to wheels need to be discontinued from the engine somehow.
The clutch allows to smoothly engage a spinning engine
to a non-spinning transmission by controlling the slippage
between them through subjecting itself to varying degrees.
