What is the Purpose of a Clutch?

In simple language, the clutch transfers the rotational power of the engine to the wheels of your car. In a manual car, the clutch pedal pressed disengages this power so you can change gear. In an automatic car, this procedure is done automatically.

What are the Signs of Clutch Failure?

• Changing gear is difficult and clunky
• Noises like squeaking or rumbling when you press the clutch pedal
• If the clutch pedal is sticking, hard to press, vibrating, loose, or spongy
• You can rev the engine but the car has difficulty accelerating

If you notice any of these clutch failure symptoms, you should get your vehicle checked immediately. 

What is the Flywheel?

In automotive terms, a flywheel is a large, usually heavy disc that needs a lot of power to rotate. The operation of the flywheel smoothes out the engine's power pulses. It also stores a lot of kinetic energy that it uses later to power up a car when you're starting the engine or accelerating.

Can you Drive a Car with a Broken Flywheel?

Although the flywheel is a tough and durable beast, it can get damaged. It can lose some of its outer teeth, crack, or even warp. You can drive with a damaged flywheel, depending on the damage, but it is highly recommended you get it replaced as soon as possible. A broken flywheel can cause damage to the crankshaft, clutch system, and even the engine.
