the friction plates on the clutch press against the machined surface of the flywheel to transmit the power from the motor to the transmission. If you lose the flywheel then the pressure plates have nothing to "grab" onto. So the clutch, which is used to disengage the pressure plates, won't be doing anything. If you get rid of the flywheel then you will have to have a direct connection to the transmission some how. Many people do this. I just like having the clutch as a safety feature.

After driving the car with and without the clutch I can say that the clutch is not just a luxury but an essential safety feature. Trying to shift with out the clutch in traffic is slow, cumbersome, and dangerous. It also adds a quick disconnect between the motor and the drive train in an emergency.

The flush mounted bolts dont look to strong after you flush mounted them seems to me it weakened the plate where the bolts go in but i dont know if that really matters or not just thought it could affect the holding power or the mounting power of the plate to the motor or transmission.

Yes, the clutch is working on the HHR. I would keep the clutch for safety and ease of shifting reasons. Depending on what vehicle you are trying to convert there may already be an adaptor plate available. Try Canadian EV for a list of available adaptor plates. If they don't have what you are looking for then there are some suppliers that will make an adaptor plate for your transmission and motor combination.

about 45 mph or you could lock the car in 4th gear and take it up to 70+ mph, however the tradeoff is that your acceleration from 0 to 70 would be glacial. I usually start off in third gear and shift to 4th at about 45mph. The acceleration from zero is still very brisk up to 45mph. While I'm sure that you could play around with the gear ratios and find one that would take you from 0 to 70 with adequate acceleration, the transmission just makes this easier and gives a wider range of usefulness.

It is possible, but because of gearing and RPM limitations of the motor, the top speed would be about 20 mph. Or, if you took the gears the other direction for a top speed of 50-60 mph then acceleration from a dead stop would be very slow and require a tremendous amp load. The transmission gives you leverage at a variety of speeds and motor RPMs.

The transmission allows the car to move at highway speeds with out over revving the motor. Electric motors generate the greatest amount of torque at lower rpms. So you want to keep the motor spinning slower to keep the power output up as high as possible. 1st gear which is the same as direct drive will take the car up to about 15 mph. Without the transmission that would be as fast as the car could go. You could lock the car in 3rd gear and have pretty good acceleration and get up to

I challenge you to find a hub motor that is large enough and has a central bearing that is strong enough to handle the weight of a car and the forces applied to the front wheels when turning right or left under acceleration. Many companies have put out press released claiming to have a motor coming soon, but so far none are available for purchase. I have seen a 8 wheeled hub driven vehicle from japan that was custom made but the motors are not available. If you find one let me know.
