The transmission helps to transmit power from the engine to the wheels. It consists of gears, shafts, and other electrical connections. It is composed of systems shown in Figure 2.1:
Figure 2.1 Arrangement of components.
This part is used to engage and disengage the engine from drive. It allows the driver to control the power flow between the engine and transmission or transaxle operating by the friction principle.

Need for Clutch
Transmission of torque depends on:
Power flow from one unit to another can be controlled with a drive disc and a driven disc.
Thus, the clutch can transmit twice as much torque
For multi-disk clutch T = (n–1)µWR
Where,
W - Spring force (N)
