Next it'll be "Twin Peaks - Who Killed Laura Palmer's Electric Car?" :) In this video we're removing the clutch from the car. A clutch isn't needed in your average Electric Vehicle as you generally drive around town in one gear all day. If required, you can still change gear easily though as there's no backpressure from having a big gas engine chugging away aimlessly. There are many EV drivers who swear by keeping the clutch in the car, and many who think it's unnecessary but once it's up & running I'll be the judge of that! It's my first EV so I'm keeping it simple. No motor+clutch+gearbox adapter makes it nice and simple for a non-mechanic like me. Anyway, we hit a bit of an obstacle trying to remove the clutch by undoing nuts & bolts. The clutch pedal base seems to be a sealed unit. This leaves us little option for removal but getting out a saw...
