  • Clutch control system
    Patent number: 4497397
    Abstract: A vehicle electronic control system for a friction clutch having a clutch position signal generator which senses the vehicle operating conditions and produces a command signal which dictates the state of engagement of the clutch. A clutch actuator control is responsive to the command signal, and includes a transducer that produces a feedback signal indicative of clutch position which is fed into a comparator for comparison with the command signal. The feedback signal is modified by a signal derived from a wear compensator to alter the feedback signal as the clutch wears.
