A clutch is a mechanical device that allows an output shaft to be disconnected from a rotating input shaft. [1] The clutch's input shaft is typically attached to a motor, while the clutch's output shaft is connected to the mechanism that does the work. In a motor vehicle, the clutch acts as a mechanical linkage between the engine and ...
Clutch control is the controlling of the speed of a manual transmission vehicle by partially engaging the clutch plate, using the clutch pedal instead of (or in conjunction with) the accelerator pedal. The purpose of a clutch is in part to allow such control; in particular, a clutch provides transfer of torque between shafts spinning at ...
When the electromagnetic clutch is used in automobiles, there may be a clutch release switch inside the gear lever.The driver operates the switch by holding the gear lever to change the gear, thus cutting off current to the electromagnet and disengaging the clutch.
This is a list of auto parts, which are manufactured components of automobiles. This list reflects both fossil-fueled cars (using internal combustion engines) and electric vehicles; the list is not exhaustive. Many of these parts are also used on other motor vehicles such as trucks and buses.

Top and side view of a typical manual transmission, in this case, a Ford Toploader, used in vehicles with external floor shifters. The first car to use a manual transmission with synchromesh was the 1929 Cadillac. [5] Most North American marques had adopted synchronized manual transmissions, usually for second and high gears, by the mid-1930s.
Based upon the size of the clutch or brake, the speed and the inertia, wear rates will differ. For example, a machine that was running at 500 rpm with a clutch and is now sped up to 1000 rpm would have its wear rate significantly increased because the amount of energy required to start the same amount of inertia is a lot higher at the higher speed.
