ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle clutch hand control for the assistance of handicapped drivers, especially those handicapped in the lower limbs, is provided. The system includes a hand control valve mounted on the gear shift lever for operating a piston controlling the position of the clutch pedal and thereby engaging and disengaging the clutch, an air storage cylinder pressurized to provide operating air for the control system, an air distribution system for transmitting commands from the hand control to the clutch pedal air operated piston and a means for recharging the pressurized air storage cylinder. The hand control system may be employed in any motor vehicle with a mechanical gear box.
