Introduction

An automotive clutch provides connection and disconnection between manual transmission and engine. Basically, a clutch is used in automobile for power transmission between two shafts. Since, engine of an automobile spins all the time, wheel needs to be disconnected in order to offer synchronisation between spinning engine to non-spinning transmission.

Clutches are used to disconnect the engine from wheels. With growing automobile sales, consumer demand for efficient transmission modes and sophisticated automobiles, demand for automotive drivetrain system is anticipated to increase significantly in the near future.

This is turn will lead to development of automotive clutch and thus, growth in the automotive clutch market worldwide. For instance, automated manual transmission (AMT) offers ease of use to the driver to change gear either fully automatically or sequentially without using the clutch. Clutch manufacturers across the globe are engaged in developing high quality products mitigating specific technical specifications by automobile manufacturers.
