NO clutch....it self starts if it's out of gear....has to be pushed when in gear...flexplate mounted to crank flange with U-joint mounted to flexplate...the starter is just for warm-up and tuning convenience, not for eliminating push vehicles. A small ATV will comfortably start an ecotec though...It's possible I imagine to lock the car in gear and hit the starter which will move the car forward as it turns the engine over but I don't know if the starter is strong enough to handle that very often
