The clutch is a series of plates held together by pressure to transmit power from the engine to the rest of the transmission components. It provides a temporary disconnection between the engine and gearbox to allow gear selection and smooth take-up of power.

Can you mess up your car using a clutch that is going out?
Yes you can. You need to replace the clutch when you realize its starting to go out. You will mess up with gears. When a clutch fails, it is usually due to a worn clutch disk or worn springs in the pressure plate. If you continue to drive the car with a worn disk, the rivets on the disk will eventually start to rub against the pressure plate or flywheel. You will then have to resurface the flywheel and replace the pressure plate. Before replacing a clutch, make sure it is adjusted properly, since an out of adjustment clutch will slip and act like it is worn out.
