HOW CLUTCH WORKS - A BRIEF IDEA

In vehicle clutch, the flywheel is connected to the engine, and the clutch plate is connected to the transmission as shown in picture. when your foot is off the pedal, the springs push the pressure plate against the clutch disc, which in turn presses against the flywheel. This locks the engine to the transmission input shaft, making them spin at the same speed

The amount of force the clutch can hold depends on the friction between the clutch plate and the flywheel, and how much force the spring puts on the pressure plate.

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. As the middle of the diaphragm spring is pushed in, a series of pins near the outside of the spring cause the spring to pull the pressure plate away from the clutch disc. This releases the clutch from the spinning engine
