Best Answer

In any vehicle which has a clutch ( instead of an automatic transmission), depressing the clutch, released the power train from the gear box, letting you shift gears without the power transfer mechanism ( whatever this is on a motorcycle or what not) supplying power. When you release the clutch the power mechanism is re-established with the new gear ratio in operation.

How do you properly use a clutch on a big rig so it will last?

Best way is to just float the gears - shift without using the clutch. However, if you do this wrong, you'll destroy your transmission. If you use the clutch when shifting, firstly, you double clutch - try shifting it like a car transmission, and you destroy the transmission. If you don't know how to do this, go to a truck driving school. When you shift, only push in the clutch far enough to disengage the transmission - don't go all the way to the floor with it, or else you'll wear out the clutch break. Don't roll out of gear with the clutch depressed.
