I've seen in threads that most electric vehicles have some type of clutch issue.
Either the car is left fixed in a certain gear or there is forced shifting - which implies to me shifting without using the clutch to disengage the motor(engine).
I know crap about cars.
I've tried
howstuffworks.com and it seems kind of vauge to me. other than demonstrating that it uses a pressure/friction plate, it doesn't show where the engine and transmission tie into it.
Can someone explain to me why clutches seem to be an issue with EVs?
