Clutch Market for Automotive by Transmission Type (Manual Transmission, AT, AMT & CVT), Clutch Disc/Clutch Plate Size (Below 9 Inches, 9 Inches to 10 Inches, 10 Inches to 11 Inches & 11 Inches and above), and by Geography – Global Forecast and Analysis to 2019

The clutch transmits engine power to the gearbox without interrupting the running of the engine, and enables continuous transmission while a gear is selected. In general terms, the wheels need to be disengaged from the engine in the event of stopping or braking of the vehicle. In order to connect the engine to transmission, clutches are used to smoothly engage a spinning crankshaft to a non-spinning transmission shaft.

A clutch thus provides a separable connection between engine and transmission.
