You will eventually lose clutch pedal pressure and the car will refuse to shift into gear.
usually a clutch does not seize. what happens is that your clutch is not moving, it could be from: no fluid in line, broken fork, air in the line, damaged pressure plate. but if for some reason the clutch is seized... then you will have to replaced clutch and flywheel.
The pressure plate which forces the friction disc against the flywheel by means of spring plates. Pressing the clutch pedal down forces the pressure plate away from the friction disc and power transfer from engine to transmission is broken.
a pressure plate works by springs. when disengaged the tension is released from the springs which hold the clutch plate against the flywheel,allowing the clutch plate to spin free,which basically stops the transfer of power from engine to gearbox when clutch is engaged the tension is reapplied to springs in pressure plate forcing the clutch plate against the flywheel
(Assuming you have a hydrolic clutch system) When you push on the clutch pedal, you create hydrolic pressure in the master and slave cylinders, which in turn pushes on the release bearing (AKA throw-out bearing). The release bearing pushes on the fingers of the pressure plate. This takes pressure off of the clutch disc, putting the car in neutral, in a sense. Now you can change gears without damaging any of the transaxle gears. When you release the clutch, you put pressure back onto the clutch plate and pressure plate, which gives power back to the wheels if you are in 1st-5th gear, or reverse.
The clutch arm is like a teeter-todder. The clutch arm sits on a pivot point in the transmission bell housing and disengages the clutch by pushing down on the pressure place through a "throw out" bearing when the clutch pedal is pushed down.
The Clutch is sandwiched between the pressure plate and the flywheel. The flywheel spins with the crankshaft and the pressure plate presses the clutch disk to the flywheel. The flywheel transmits torque to the transaxle input shaft through splines along the inner hole in the clutch. The clutch is between the engine and the transaxle Dean Schrickel, P.E.
Clutch, yes. Pressure plate, No.
Works similar to a braking system- fluid cannot be compressed so when you exert pressure on the clutch pedal it transfers this effort through the master cylinder to the slave cylinder forcing the clutch mechanism to activate causing the clutch to disengage
