Clutch, How does it work?

Have you ever wondered what is happening inside a car when you press the clutch pedal? Or why do you need to press the clutch pedal before you shift gears in a manual transmission car? This video gives you logical answers to these questions. At the end of the video, we will also understand the crucial role played by the clutch in an uphill start.

In the late nineties, when they said, "Oh the web means all information will be free, " this is the kind of thing I wanted it to be. "Here's all the these explained". Excellent work, sir.

How humans were able to laboriously figure out this high-precision engineering system is beyond amazing!

We really do take A LOT for granted on life. Whoever invented this was a genius

I’m a former mechanic so this stuff is second-nature to me, but this video is absolutely brilliant as a visual aid for teaching my son what the clutch pedal action is actually doing in his car. Thanks so much for creating it!

Hey since you have a BMW model you may as well show the BMW drivers how do the indicators in their cars work.

I was unknowingly doing all these things in a manual transmission, amazing. This video is absolutely brilliant.

This was really educational and easy to undestand.
I've driven a manual my whole life and never knew the science behind how the clutch worked.
Very cool video. Easy upvote from me.

Engineers are incredible. These systems are so intricately designed, it makes your head spin.

I feel like I just learned so much and understood so little at the same time.

How the hell did humans ever come up with this stuff?

[Denielgunz]

I need a video to understand this video.

I'm not a big car guy - I don't know anything about them other than where I last parked - but the whole transmission system is a really beautiful and ingenious piece of engineering; absolutely amazing how it's evolved over the years. Excellent video, many thanks!

I'm literally over here watching this for fun while some poor engineering student somewhere is cramming for an exam watching this same video.

Hello friend, I believe in you.

[PracticalEngineeringChannel]

You guys are killing it. Great video as always.

[philpoley]

Thanks for this. I’m teaching my nephew how to drive a manual transmission this weekend and made this required viewing!

Thanks a lot friend for posting this. They expect you, when you go for a driving license, to just learn everything empirically and just know, "when your car does this, change the speed", with no further context. Videos like these are very helpful.

Yes but the clutch never makes an effort to understand me.

[nesli]

now imagine creating this one hell of a engineering miracle back in the 1921

5 years ago, but still helping. Thank you.
I needed to know the tech behind it because it helps me drive.

The friction facing burned off the clutch of my 1968 Datsun 510 when the hydraulic system became clogged and left the clutch in a partially engaged position. The car was only 4 years old at the time with about 35, 000 miles on it. Things have improved greatly in 50 years.
