Question 947 of 1208

What role has the clutch?

A commands the increase of the engine speed, depending on the transported load;
B ensures different speeds of the driving wheels when travelling through curves;
C achieves the progressive coupling and uncoupling of the engine from the rest of the transmission.

Explanation

The clutch has the role:

  • to progressively transmit the rotational movement from the engine to the gearbox when starting from standstill;
  • it couples and uncouples the engine from the transmission in order to be able to change the gears;
  • it protects the transmission from overload.

The clutch transmits the rotational movement from the engine to the gearbox. The movement can be transmitted:

  • 100% when the clutch pedal is free (not pressed);
  • partially - when the pedal is around the middle position;
  • 0% when the pedal is fully pressed.

Thus, you can start smoothly from standstill or drive very slowly to perform parking, U-turns etc.

The correct answer is: C
