The clutch is an integral part of the vehicle that allows engine power to be applied to gradually when the vehicle is starting out and breaks off power so as to avoid gear crunching. It is the device that engages and disengages the engine from the transmission. With this, the driver is able to smoothly start, stop, shift gears, and idle at neutral. Its efficient functions are derived from its components and one important component to have is the flywheel. This is bolted at the end of the crankshaft and provides a sufficient mounting area for the clutch assembly. When the clutch is actuated, the pressure plate clamps the disc against the flywheel. The flywheel also acts as a heat sink that can dissipate heat. It keeps off heat from the clutch pressure plate and disc friction material.
The main function of the flywheel is to transmit torque from the engine to the transmission. This way, seamless transition in selecting gears is achieved. It also does many things – act as a balancer for the engine, an absorber to dampen engine vibrations created during the firing on each cylinder, and provide a smooth-machined “friction” surface where the clutch can contact with unrestrictedly. It also has teeth along its circumference which are intended to allow the starter motor to have a positive contact when turning the engine over.
