The pressure plate 'clamps' it into place when the clutch pedal is released, often with a ton or more pounds of force. Press in the pedal, release the clamp.
Think of it this way. If the clutch were slipping and you are not in a 1:1, you basically have a manual variable ratio (the non-1:1 ratio), where your revs in a certain gear has nothing to do with speed. This is not true, unless your clutch is needing replacement.
Seeing as how we can accurately judge speed in a manual based on gear and RPM, we would have to assume a 1:1 ratio. In this case, the assumption is correct lol.
