Best Answer

for power transfer

*********************************

The clutch in a manual transmission is used to disengage the engine from the drive shaft in order to change the gear ratio. The gear ratio dictates how fast the drive wheels will turn. 1st gear (low) allows the car to get under way from a standing stop. The 2nd gear ratio allows the vehicle to go a bit faster, and also facilitates making turns around corners. 3rd gear (high) permits the vehicle to go at higher speeds. Each time the clutch is employed the gears may be changed depending on which maneuver the driver is doing. The new gear is engaged once the clutch is let out.
