For drivers who enjoy the control and responsiveness of a manual transmission, a functioning clutch is essential. The clutch acts as the bridge between your engine and wheels and allows you to shift gears and control your vehicle's speed.

Many people presume that the clutch is actually the pedal positioned to the left of the brake in their vehicle. That is not entirely false, but there's more to it than that. It disengages the transmission from the drivetrain.
