b. Clutch. The clutch (fig. 2-3) has two plates (disks), one attached to the flywheel of
the engine, the other connected to the transmission.
The disks are pressed together by a
pressure plate.
When the engine is running, the disk attached to the flywheel drives the
disk attached to the transmission, turning the gears in the transmission. The plates are
separated when the operator steps down on the clutch pedal. The gears in the transmission
stop turning to let the operator shift gears.
