The Clutch is the most important part of the engine in an automobile. A clutch uses to transfer rotating motion or torque from one shaft to another shaft when requires.

The torque developed by the engine at the initial speed is very low. Therefore it is impossible to start the engine under load.

It requires that the transmission system should provide a means of connecting and disconnecting the engine from the rest of the transmission system. Such an operation must be smooth and without shock to the passengers of the vehicle.

Hence a device that use to engage and disengage the engine from the transmission system is called a clutch.

The clutch permits the gradual taking of load when adequately operated, thereby it prevents jerky motion of the vehicle, and this avoids undue strain on the parts of the vehicle as well as passengers.
