If the clutch goes out is it because of the Transmission?
the clutch and transmission do work together but if the clutch goes out its not always the transmission, could be a bad clutch plate or clutch springs. the clutch is a compression plate that makes the transmission go nuetral and stop spinning long enough for u to change gears, and the transmission turns the drive shaft so that your vehicle will move forwards or in reverse. they work together to make the shifting of the gears smooth, cause without the clutch you cant change gears and you will not be able to build up speed in your car.
A clutch is a two part affair, enclosed in a bell-housing. The pressure plate half is bolted to the end of your engine's crankshaft and the clutch disc is splined to the transmission shaft. Your clutch pedal engages or disengages the two plate s via either a mechanic connection or hydraulics. The clutch disc is usually some sort of fiber and that's what wears out. The transmission and bell-housing needs to be removed to gain access to the clutch system.
The clutch is the disconnect between the engine and transmission. It consists of a Flywheel which is bolted to the engine crankshaft, a steel spring loaded plate which moves away from the flywheel when you depress the clutch pedal and a fiber disk between the two. The Transmission shaft is splined as is the clutch plate. When you release the clutch pedal the clutch plate is connected, through the fiber disk to the engine and turns the transmission. The clutch pedal uses a throwout bearing to move the clutch in and out. The fiber disk and trhowout bearing are both subject to wearing out. Those are what usually cause the clutch to go out. The transmission doesn't cause clutch failures.
