Took me several looks at the diaphragm spring to finally understand how stepping on the clutch pedal disengages the engine power from the wheels. Perhaps this part could have been more fleshed out (for non mechanically inclined guys like me) but overall, excellent animation and video. Thanks!

A clutch plate works like a brake pad and the flywheel is the brake rotor.

Also, thanks for keeping it short and sweet, so it can be understood by all without feeling like a lecture.

Great animation... Only that I still don't understand how the clutch works

This is for the first time that I clearly understand how a clutch works. Thanks for the amazing video!

The flywheel is spinning with the clutch pack assembly attached to it. The metal pieces in the middle of the clutch pack are the diaphragm springs, they push the clutch away from the flywheel when the clutch pedal is pushed in and let it get closer as you let the clutch pedal out. The diaphragm springs are pushing against the pressure plate. The springs that are on the inside area of the friction disc are dampening springs. They help to soften the felt engagement of the friction disc to the flywheel when the clutch pedal is being let out and engaging. The flywheel spins as the gas pedal is pressed, as the clutch pedal is being let out the friction disc, which is rubbing on the flywheel when friction point is achieved, is catching the transmission output to the wheels up with the rotation of the engine. When the clutch is let all the way out, pressure from the diaphragm spring is pushing the friction disc up against the flywheel to ensure engagement so when you accelerate the engine and transmission output are spinning at the same rate of speed. When the friction disc needs to be replaced, usually when you accelerate hard enough the clutch will "slip" and the engine will spin faster than the friction disc and cause a feeling of a loss of power. I probably didn't do a very good job of explaining it but there you go.

The clutch pedal is depressed ? You're not the only one, mate !

Beautiful animation. Makes it much easier to understand the works.

2:02-- 2:07 shows the movement necessary to understand how it works.
Good video.

Spectacular animation with great description, really well put together.

Very clear and concise video. Huge thumbs up from me and excited to see you're creating videos again.

Great! I wanted to know this so that I can understand how to launch the car better.

Very good. In fact it's sooo good it could have been much longer. And yes, I know how much work goes into animation such as this. Thanks.
