Welcome back to gearhead 101 a series on the basics of how cars work for the automotive neophytes out there.

The clutch is a device that lets you connect and disconnect the engine and the transmission when you push in the clutch pedal the engine and the transmission are disconnected so the engine can run even if the car is standing still. When you release the clutch pedal the engine and the green shaft are directly connected to one another. Front wheel drive cars use the same transmission principles as rear wheel drive cars but the mechanical components vary in design according to the engine and gearbox layout. If youve been following gearhead 101 you know how a car engine works how the engine transfers the power it generates via the drivetrain and how a manual transmission functions as sort of a power switchboard between the engine and the drivetrain.

When the clutch is disengaged it disconnects power flow between the engine and transmission gearbox. This disconnection of power allows the engine to continue running even though the rest of the cars drivetrain isnt getting any power.
