Clutch

The Clutch is a performance part featured in Need for Speed (2015).

A Clutch is a friction material that transfers power from the engine to the gearbox. It is comprised of a flywheel connected to the crank shaft of the engine and a pressure plate that holds a clutch disc in place. The clutch can be engaged and disengaged onto the flywheel through friction applied by the pressure plate, and allow for gear changes or braking.

Aftermarket upgrades can improve the amount of power the clutch disc can transfer from the engine, improve the performance of the flywheel, and reduce the amount of time required to change gear.
