Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A flexible disc, also known as a flexible coupling, is designed to absorb power impulses and vibrations from the engine that would otherwise damage the transmission. It does this by using a flexible material, such as rubber, to cushion the shock and isolate the engine from the transmission. A clutch disc is designed to transmit power from the engine to the transmission when engaged, but does not absorb power impulses in the same way. A rigid disc does not flex or absorb shock, and a friction disc is designed to create friction between two surfaces to transfer power, rather than absorb it.
