lol, to make my long story sound simple..... yes
. The clutch is a similar material to your brake pads and works in a similar way. The flywheel is spinning freely at the same speed as your engine. When you let the pedal out and it starts to grab, the clutch is starting to rub up against the surface and once there's enough friction, it basically locks to it and off you go! When the clutch pedal is pushed in, its basically just sitting there by itself doing nothing and not getting harmed. When the clutch starts getting old and worn out, it doesn't grab as good and you'll hear people say "their clutch is slipping". Basically its just not locking up completely due to a lack of friction and the car will lose power. lol, I guess thats enough for the basics
You can rev to 6K with the clutch pushed in and its not gonna hurt a thing.
