The clutch is an important component of the automotive transmission system, which plays a role in connecting and disconnecting the engine and transmission system.

According to the position and operation mode of the clutch pedal, clutches can be divided into two main types: manual clutches and automatic clutches.

Manual clutch is a traditional clutch system mainly used for vehicles with manual transmission. In a manual clutch, the clutch pedal is located in the floor area in front of the driver's seat, usually on the left side. The driver disconnects the connection between the engine and transmission by stepping on the clutch pedal, achieving gear shifting and parking.

Automatic clutch is suitable for vehicles with automatic transmission. In automatic clutch systems, clutch pedals are usually absent or replaced. The automatic clutch operates automatically through an electronic control unit and hydraulic system, eliminating the need for the driver to manually operate the clutch.

Regardless of whether there is a clutch pedal, vehicles have a clutch system to connect and disconnect the engine and transmission. The manual clutch is operated by manually controlling the clutch system, including the clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, release bearing, etc., while the automatic clutch is calculated accurately by the vehicle's intelligent system. Regardless of whether manual control is required, the clutch system is an indispensable part of vehicle operation.
