  • Patent number: 4403682
    Abstract: A vehicle automatic clutch control comprising an engine speed sensor that produces a signal V.sub.1, an electrical reference signal generator that produces a signal V.sub.R and a comparator that processes the two signals V.sub.1 and V.sub.R to produce an error signal E. The error signal E is utilized for controlling a clutch actuator that operates the clutch to vary the state of engagement of the clutch to alter the engine speed and equalize the two signals V.sub.1 and V.sub.R and thus maintain a substantially constant engine speed until the clutch is fully engaged.
