Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both technicians are correct. Technician A is correct in stating that the pressure plate assembly squeezes the clutch disc onto the flywheel, which is how the engine's power is transmitted to the transmission. Technician B is correct in saying that the pressure plate moves away from the clutch disc to disengage the clutch, allowing the disc to stop rotating and the vehicle to change gears or come to a stop without stalling.
