In a vehicle with a manual transmission, the clutch performs two tasks: on the one hand, it allows the engine/transmission connection to be separated during gear shifting, since only an unloaded transmission permits shifting. On the other hand, when pulling away with the engine running, the clutch smoothly connects the engine to the still-stationary drivetrain components.
