Understanding the Importance of the Clutch in Your Vehicle's Transmission

In the context of a vehicle's transmission, "clutch" refers to a friction device that connects and disconnects the engine from the transmission. When you press the clutch pedal, it disengages the clutch, allowing you to shift gears without the engine stalling. When you release the pedal, the clutch engages again, connecting the engine to the transmission and allowing power to be transmitted to the wheels.

So, in your example sentence, "clutched" means that the driver pressed the clutch pedal and disengaged the clutch, allowing them to shift gears without the engine stalling.
