		Clutch was one of the first figures released in the first series (1982).
		Clutch's head and arms were re-used for Breaker and Rock N Roll.
		Clutch's legs were shared with Breaker, Grunt, Hawk, Rock N Roll, Shortfuze, Stalker, Steeler, and Zap (and in 1983 Tan Grunt).

	Clutch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The spring pressure is released when the clutch pedal is depressed thus either pushing or pulling the diaphragm of the pressure plate, depending on type, and the friction plate is released and allowed to rotate freely.
		This speed matching is achieved by a secondary clutch called a synchromesh, a device that uses frictional contact to bring the two parts to the same speed, and a locking mechanism called a blocker ring to prevent engagement of the teeth (full movement of the shift lever into gear) until the speeds are synchronized.
		While engaging the clutch, the engine speed may need to be increased from idle, using the manual throttle, so that the engine does not stall (although in most cars, especially diesels, there is enough power at idling speed that the car can move although fine movements with the clutch are needed).

	ROCKETS: Clutch "The Rockets Bear" Index
		At many of these events Clutch can be seen performing his hysterics not only to the beat of his own drum, but to the beat of his own rock song, “Clutch the Bear,” written and performed by Chance McClain and Frank Bullington of the band Apollo XVIII, and is available for free download at www.rockets.com.
		CLUTCH says that SMILE stands for: Stuffed animal who everyone wants to hug, Marketing the Rockets all over the place all the time, Inspiring the Rockets and their fans to victory, Laughter is more important than anything, and Educating youth to make intelligent future oriented decisions is how we all win tomorrow.
		Other Clutch creations that have been widely popularized and used throughout sports include mascot bowling, a game in which the mascot serves as ball and is shot down the court at 5 foot tall pins by a giant sling shot operated by 3 people, and mascot stilt boxing, self explanatory.

		Clutch Masters, after 28 years as a premier manufacturer of fine quality clutches, has taken this experience and a clean sheet of paper to re-engineer their line of performance clutches to address these problems.
		Clutch Masters has solved this common problem on their street and street/strip discs by bonding a special steel backing plate (see disc technology and figure X) to the friction material.
		The challenge in building a high performance clutch is to build the unit for different intended heavy duty or severe applications which will hold the power; not break the transmission or internal engine components and retain an overall smooth operation of the entire system (whenever possible).

	Diamond Mind Baseball
		Elias came up with its own definition of "clutch," defined as any at-bat in the seventh inning or later, with the batter's team trailing by three runs or less (or four runs if the bases were loaded).
		First, it should be noted that by "clutch hitters," all the analysts are thinking of players who perform better under pressure than when not under pressure.
		This is the standard, I think, although one can certainly argue that a good clutch hitter is a hitter who hits well under pressure, regardless of what he does the rest of the time.

		A clutch of eggs is the total number of eggs laid in one nesting attempt.
		Within populations, the age of a female bird is related to the size of her clutch.
		Cold weather may reduce the size of a clutch; and clutches laid later in the breeding season may contain fewer eggs than clutches laid by the same individual earlier in the season.

	Clutch basics: How does a clutch work? - Clutch repair
		The clutch allows engine power to be applied gradually when a vehicle is starting out, interrupts power to the transmission to avoid gear clashing when shifting and prevents engine stalling when bringing the vehicle to a stop.
		When the clutch is engaged, the disc is "squeezed" between the flywheel and pressure plate, and power from the engine is transmitted by the disc's hub to the input shaft of the transmission.
		When the clutch pedal is released and the clutch is fully engaged, the release bearing is normally stationary and does not rotate with the pressure plate.

	Clutch
		Even in a drag race launch where the throttle is mashed as the clutch is let out, the clutch is strong enough to grip the tranny and force it to move to the point of breaking the tires loose (ala burnoff).
		All in all, clutches are designed to take the abuse of stop and go traffic where the clutch repeatedly is used to launch the car.
		With a good clutch the effect will again be that the revs will suddenly rise as I depress the clutch, but when I release it the clutch should snap into engagement and "bang" the car.

		The clutch connects the two shafts so that they can either be locked together and spin at the same speed, or be decoupled and spin at different speeds.
		The friction force in the clutch works just like the blocks in the friction section of How Brakes Work, except that the spring presses on the clutch plate instead of weight pressing the block into the ground.
		This type of clutch is a special viscous clutch, much like the viscous coupling sometimes found in all-wheel drive cars.

	Howstuffworks "How Clutches Work"
		In fact, there are clutches in many things you probably see or use everyday: Many cordless drills have a clutch, chainsaws have a centrifugal clutch and even some yo-yos have a clutch!
		When the clutch pedal is pressed, a cable or hydraulic piston pushes on the release fork, which presses the throw-out bearing against the middle of the diaphragm spring.
		The friction material on a clutch disc is very similar to the friction material on the pads of a disc brake, or the shoes of a drum brake -- after a while, it wears away.

	Clutch (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though each of Clutch's albums is marked by its own distinct and cohesive sound, the band's musical style may be said to have migrated from metallic hardcore punk to hard rock over the course of its career, with strong blues influences becoming more prominent in later years.
		Clutch's lyrics, at first angry and serious in tone, had by the time of 1993's Transnational Speedway League become characterized by intelligence, wordplay, and often humour (although comedy is not usually the focus).
		Clutch fans often refer to themselves as "gearheads", in reference to the fact that a clutch is a transmission component.

		The clutch disk is attached to the input splines of the transmission and is held to the motor between the flywheel and the pressure plate so you can go down the road.
		The WRX clutch (all Subaru turbo clutches, Legacy or Impreza) is not a standard diaphragm clutch.
		Although it is possible to convert to a turbo type clutch, you must re-shim the transmission bearings and the ring and pinion setup, as well as the check the transfer gear set shims, when swapping cases.

	Baseball Prospectus \| Articles \| Baseball Prospectus Basics: The Concept of ''Clutch''
		Clutch performances exist, to be sure; you can't watch a day of baseball without seeing a well-timed hit, a big defensive play or a key strikeout that pushes a team towards victory.
		The notion of clutch persists because it allows for a storyline with a hero and a goat, and that's both an easy tale to write and an easy one to read.
		The idea that players' abilities do not change in the clutch is one of those things that gets the anti-stathead crowd riled up, gets them talking about pocket protectors and people who take the fun out of the game.

	Meli's Tips
		With the simple forward movement of the clutch lever, you engage the clutch, and the power of the engine is transferred to the drive wheels or to the belt pulley.
		A loose clutch, one which requires little or no effort to engage, will slip, causing loss of power, overheating of the clutch and pulley, and will result in early replacement of clutch facings.
		To adjust the clutch, first set the clutch-lever in the engaged position; then, remove pulley cover; tighten each of the three nuts a little at a time to an equal tension.

		But the 91-96 clutch will not work on the 97-98 cars because the main shaft in the transmission doesn't have long enough splines to engage the second disk (closest to the flywheel).
		Centerforce is known for clutches with increased clamping pressure and total load abilities due to dual friction surfaces, spring enhancements, and addition of weights which increase claming pressure.
		My thoughts on the MotorMail clutch is that it is the best kit for the NSX if they can get the chatter problem out, give full detailed instructions on the installation (a lot of time was wasted due to this), and learn the meaning of the word "support".
