What is the function of the drive disc in a clutch system?

• It is attached to the transmission input shaft.

• It disconnects the drive, resulting in no drive.

• It is attached to the engine and is part of the mechanism to apply drive.

• It is not a part of the clutch system.

What happens when the driven disc is disconnected?

• The drive is applied.

• The engine stops working.

• There is no drive.

• The transmission input shaft is engaged.

How is drive applied in a clutch system?

• When the driven disc is in contact with the drive disc.

• When the driven disc is attached to the engine.

• When the drive disc is disconnected from the engine.

• When the input shaft to transmission is removed.
