ABSTRACT:
According to this invention, this is obtained by providing a sensor (18) on a clutch linkage (20) or master cylinder (117) to sense the force applied by the operator. The sensor (18) then actuates a valve (36) which provides pressure to a booster cylinder (28). The booster cylinder (28) is connected to the clutch release lever (26) in parallel with the clutch linkage (20) or slave cylinder (117), both of which transmit forces to operate the clutch.
