The role of clutch plate and pressure plate:

• Function of transmitting the torque from the engine to the drivetrain

• Smoothly deliver the power from the engine to enable smooth vehicle movement.
• Perform quietly and to reduce drive- related vibration
• Protect the drivetrain when given the inappropriate use.
