b . Clutch. The clutch (fig. 2-4) is a single plate, dry disk type. The purpose
of the clutch is to separate the engine from the transmission when shifting gears.
The disk of the clutch is joined to the engine flywheel. A pressure plate is joined to
the input shaft of the transmission. When the clutch pedal is up, the pressure plate
is forced against the disk on the flywheel and turns with the flywheel. Pushing the
clutch pedal down separates the transmission by separating the pressure plate from
the disk. When the transmission is separated from the engine, the transmission gears
can be shifted.
