What is clutch in automobile?


                    The purpose of the clutch is to allow the driver to couple or decouple the engine and transmission. When clutch is in engaged position, the engine power flows to the transmission through it (clutch). When gears are to be changed while vehicle is running, the clutch permits temporary decoupling of engine and wheels so that gears can be shifted. In a scooter, the clutch is operated by hand where as in a car the clutch is operated by foot. It is necessary to interrupt the flow of power before gears are changed. Without a clutch, it will by very difficult.
