What is Clutch?

The most important feature that distinguishes manual cars from automatic cars is the presence of the clutch system. In addition, the factor that most affects the reason for choosing a vehicle when purchasing a vehicle is the manual or automatic transmission option. Clutch is one of the elements that allows the car to move smoothly in cars with manual transmission. Therefore, clutch quality is very important.

The clutch transmits the thrust from the engine to the wheels in manual transmission vehicles. The clutch system ensures efficient use of the engine's thrust. In addition, thanks to this system, gear changes can be made when the vehicle reaches a certain rpm level while driving. 

Whar are Clutch Parts?

Clutch consists of 4 different parts. These parts are;

• Clutch plate
