ABSTRACT:
A clutch/brake system for a manual transmission motor vehicle, having an additional brake master cylinder attached to the conventional clutch master cylinder, and associated hydraulic lines and valves whereby depression of the clutch pedal first causes disengagement of the clutch, and then causes engagement of the brakes through engagement of the additional brake master cylinder. The system is particularly useful when starting a vehicle on an upward incline, to allow the operator to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when one foot must be on the clutch pedal while the other is on the accelerator pedal. The system is also useful in the event that a sudden stop is necessary while the operator is using the clutch pedal for frequent gear shifting, as in heavy traffic.
