Clutch Components

The clutch transmits the engine torque to the transmission.

The clutch comprises the clutch friction disc and the clutch pressure plate which is bolted to the flywheel.

The power flow between the engine and transmission is interrupted when the clutch is actuated. This means the clutch is engaged (unreleased) when not actuated. The clutch disengages (releases) once actuated.
