Clutch shaft

In Simple Terms

The clutch shaft is the mechanical component that connects the clutch (which engages/disengages engine power) to the gearbox. Depending on the car's design, this shaft might be mounted on either the Power Unit or the gearbox, and it includes support bearings and a sensor that measures the forces being transferred through it.

• Connects the clutch to the gearbox, transferring engine power to the transmission
• Can be mounted on either the Power Unit or gearbox depending on car design
• Includes support bearings and brackets to maintain alignment and stability
• Contains a torque sensor to monitor and measure forces transmitted through the shaft
