What is the thumping sound you get on the bottom left side of your 1995 Honda Magna only when the clutch is engaged and which seems to lesson as you hit higher RPM's?

take the cover off of the left hand side ( clutch cover)there should be four bolts holding your clutch in place on a 4 star aluminum plate.. check and see if one of the tabs or points of that plate isn't cracked if it it this theres the problem. At one point in time one of the bolts was over torqued and the plate cracked making that thumping sound

How does an automobile clutch work?
Simply put. when you depress the clutch pedal, it separates the clutch disc from the flywheel, when you let go of your clutch pedal it drops the clutch disc back onto the flywheel. Flywheel- spins at the speed of your engine (RPM) revs per minute depressed clutch-is seperated from flywheel allows you to shift into higher or lower gear released clutch- is engaged onto flywheel the two connect.. engaged clutch means your gonna move! disengaged clutch means you aint moving forward, your literally in neutral.

How many types of automobile clutch are there?
Clutch is a mechanism for transmitting rotation, which can be engaged and disengaged. Clutches are useful in devices that have two rotating shafts. In these devices, one shaft is typically driven by a motor or pulley, and the other shaft drives another device. In a drill, for instance, one shaft is driven by a motor, and the other drives a drill chuck. The clutch connects the two shafts so that they can either be locked together and spin at the same speed (engaged), or be decoupled and spin at different speeds (disengaged).types of different clutches are:Dog clutchesCone clutchesTorque limiter or Safety clutch: This device allows a rotating shaft to "slip" when higher than normal resistance is encountered on a machine. An example of a safety clutch is the one mounted on the driving shaft of a large grass mower. The clutch will "slip" or "give" if the blades hit a rock, stump, or other immobile object.Overrunning clutch or freewheelCentrifugal clutch and semi-centrifugal clutchHydraulic clutchElectromagnetic clutch

Can certain vehicles be started by keeping the gears engaged?
Yes, a manual transmission vehicle can be started by turning on the ignition, engaging the clutch, pushing the vehicle and letting out the clutch when enough speed is reached. When the kick start broke on my Honda when I was a kid I did that for months before I had the money to repair it, I found that being in a higher gear made the start easier as long as you are quick to reengage the clutch when the motor catches.
Why the engine revs is going higher when pressing clutch down and changing gears?
Every time you engage the clutch, the clutch disengages from the transmission/engine. Which in term engine revs up, until you disengage the clutch.
Why does my 2004 F250SD 6.0 Liter AC blow hot with the low side pressure at 110?

How can you tell the clutch cable is bad?
You can tell by how much higher the clutch pedal is to the brake pedal. when new pedals are at the same height.
How do you know when the clutch is on its way out?

How do you know if your hydraulic clutch on your 1996 Sunfire is going out.?
If you clutch and it either goes all the way in with no pressure there is a leak in your slave cylinder or the higher you have to clutch means your clutch is sliping and has to be replaced. If your doing a lot of power shifting i would suggest you get a racing clutch instead.
Why will a 1999 Geo Metro down shift hard?
Try adjusting the clutch. Never downshift to slow down, press the clutch and use the brake to slow down it will save your engine and clutch. Downshift to pass or to rapidly speed up but be sure to have the revs up higher than when you were in the higher gear.
How do you release clutch when changing to higher gears slowly or quickly?
Slowly and if you are good you can change gears without using the clutch. Takes a little practice and a good ear or feel for when the engie is running at the speed to change without the clutch.
