Why does a car engine keeps running idle even when the car is not in neutral gear no pedals are pressed ?

175 views

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 ?

Try getting up to 5th gear in a manual car and then decrease speed without changing down gears and see what happens
