Tim Ramjaun changes Clutch

Tim changes the clutch on his supercar. A clutch connects two rotating shafts, one being driven by the engine, and the other connected to a device. The connection helps drive both shafts at the same speed, and enables decoupling when required, for example when changing gears (and hence the rotation speed of one shaft).
