ABSTRACT:
The clutch actuation system provides for control of the clutch of a manual transmission in a motor vehicle. By use of hydraulics, a vacuum booster and a gradual pressure relief valve a smooth easy control of the manual transmission is accomplished. The vacuum booster provides an assist to the hydraulic system when the clutch must be disengaged or engaged. The power assist facilitates rapid engagement of the clutch and gears. The gradual pressure relief valve provides for a smooth transition in the hydraulic system to engage and disengage the clutch. The rapid smooth assist is aided by the vacuum system of the motor vehicle. For certain motor vehicles the engine oil system is also used to assist.
