The function of any transmission is transferring engine power to the driveshaft and rear wheels (or axle halfshafts and front wheels in a front-wheel-drive vehicle). Gears inside the transmission change the vehicle’s drive-wheel speed and torque in relation to engine speed and torque. Lower (numerically higher) gear ratios serve as torque multipliers and help the engine to develop enough power to accelerate from a standstill.
An automotive clutch is a crucial component that allows a vehicle to change speeds and come to a stop without the engine having to shut off completely. If you encounter clutch trouble in your manual transmission vehicle, it’s important to act fast, as a failed clutch could cause both reliability and safety concerns.
