What is a clutch?

It's the part that connects the engine to the transmission, and is activated by the clutch pedal inside the car. It's a set of metal disks that 'clutch' or grab onto each other to allow some slip between the engine and transmission. This slip is what lets the car start from a dead stop without killing the engine.
