ABSTRACT:
A clutch assembly and control having an automatic adjustment for friction lining wear and a lash control which essentially removes the forces on the clutch release bearing when the clutch is engaged. This is accomplished through a load sensitive releasable drive mechanism which provides the drive connection between the clutch pedal and the clutch cable during lash take-up in the system. The load sensitive releasable drive mechanism permits removal of forces on the clutch release bearing by allowing relative movement between the clutch pedal and the clutch cable if any forces are applied to the clutch release bearing while the clutch is engaged. During the lash take-up movement of the clutch, if the clutch release bearing forces are excessive, the load sensitive drive mechanism permits relative motion to lessen the bearing forces which are indicative of clutch wear.
