Best Answer

These are relatively simple devices, the engine rotates and torque is produced by a turning effort (load), the clutch or fluid flywheel transfers this energy into the gearbox which then through gearing increases the effort provided, in other words, the input torque is multipled by the gearing to the output shaft which makes a car accelerate
