ABSTRACT:
A clutch actuation system for a vehicle, comprises a first assembly adapted to be driven from a stop position by an actuating force, and a second assembly, which is driven by the first assembly, and drives in a certain direction a driven member which moves in such a way that a first part of its travel is accomplished against a relatively weak resisting force, and a following part of its travel is accomplished against a relatively strong restoring force. A clearance adjuster comprises means for biasing the first and second assemblies with respect to one another in such a direction as, if the first assembly remains in its stop position, to drive the driven member in said certain direction with biasing force strong enough to overcome said relatively weak resisting force but not strong enough to overcome said relatively strong restoring force, and means for locking the position of said first assembly with respect to said second assembly when said first assembly is moved off its stop position.
