How an Automobile Clutch Works

I found the video “Clutch, How does it work ?", from the Learn Engineering YouTube channel, to be a very informative explanation about how a car clutch works:

I have watched other videos that explain how an automobile clutch works, but many of them use simplified graphics. This video, on the other hand, appears to me to use a detailed and realistic depiction of the parts and mechanisms involved.

This video also explains how the clutch is involved with an uphill start, giving an overview of the physics involved with this.

Despite being a shorter video covering a complex topic, I think that I learned a lot from it.
