A clutch is a mechanical device that provides for the transmission of power
(and therefore usually motion) from one component (the driving member)
to another (the driven member) when engaged, but can be disengaged.
A clutch is that part of engine which engages or disengages power from
the engine crankshaft to transmission. A clutch is mechanism by which
you change the gears. In simple words, it turns on or off power to rear
wheel. A clutch is made of clutch assembly which includes clutch plate,
Clutch basket, Clutch hub, pressure plates, Clutch springs, lever and
clutch cable.
single-clutch transmission
Single Plate Clutch: A single disc or plate clutch
consists of a clutch plate whose both sides are faced with a frictional
material. It is mounted on the hub which is free to move axially along
he splines of the driven shaft. The pressure plate is mounted inside
the clutch body which is bolted to the flywheel.

It can fundamentally be described as two separate manual transmissions (with their respective clutches) contained within one housing, and working as one unit
