A throwout bearing is a part of an automotive clutch system that temporarily disengages the engine from the manual transmission while shifting. It translates a linear thrust force from the clutch pedal to the spinning clutch plate assembly mounted to the flywheel. It is a thrust bearing with the inner race attached to the clutch throw out arm and the outer race contacting the clutch de-actuation fingers. It reconciles the disengagement thrust on the spinning clutch assembly with the non-spinning clutch linkage. Clutches allow drivers to execute and ease shifts between gears in manual transmissions as cars accelerate or decelerate by removing all driving forces from the synchronizer teeth and the shift collars in the transmission whenever the clutch pedal is depressed. Clutches consist of a clutch disc, clad with friction braking material that is tightly squeezed between two flat machined metallic surfaces-one on the flywheel, and one on the clutch pressure plate assembly bolted to it.
The pressure plate has a series of coil springs or a single large flat washer spring to provide the squeezing force needed to keep the clutch disc from slipping while it is transmitting engine power to the transmission.
