The clutch transfers torque from the engine to the gearbox. The clutch includes a driven (friction) disc and pressure plate, which is bolted to the flywheel.

With the clutch engaged (depressed clutch pedal) power flow between engine and gearbox is interrupted. This means that when the clutch is not engaged, it is in the engaged (not free) condition. After engagement, the clutch disengages (turns off).
