An apparatus that disconnects the engine from the transmission in order for the car to change gears and then enables the gears to resume contact and turn together at a new speed.

To get the best result while repairing your clutch, it is recommended to replace clutch plate, pressure plate, and release and pilot bearings at the same time. In most cases, the fly wheel will also need to be resurfaced. It is also a good time to replace your rear main crankshaft seal, since the engine is already separated from transmission at this time. This way, you won’t have to pay for additional labor, and will only pay for the parts.

Please remember that manual transmission fluid has to be flashed every 60K miles in most cases.
