ABSTRACT:
A clutch lockout apparatus for locking out the clutch of a manual transmission is disclosed. The clutch lockout apparatus comprises a first electrical circuit for determining whether a gearbox is conditioned for torque delivery, and a clutch lockout having a projection which is movable from a normally retracted state when the gearbox is conditioned for torque delivery to an extended state when the gearbox is not conditioned for torque delivery. When the projection is in the extended state, movement of the clutch from a disengaged position to an engaged position is prevented. Also disclosed is a method for locking out the clutch of a manual transmission using this apparatus.
