I’ve seen several animations and gone through explanations that a transmission isolates engine shaft from the drive shaft for several purposes but how does a car engine keeps running even when it is not in neutral gear(any gear like R, 1, 2, 3…6) and no pedal has been pressed, so clutch is not pressed too so this means the engine shaft is connected to the transmission and if it is in any gear other than R the drive shaft is coonected to the transmission, right ?
If yes, then why doesen’t the car moves and how does the engine still keeps running idle ?

In a manual transmission car, if you put in let’s say gear 1 and release the clutch very slowly, the car will start moving and continue to move even without pressing the accelerator.
At this point, if you only press the break pedal, the car will stop and stall.
For a manual transmission car to be standing still while in a gear, clutch NEEDS to be pressed down
