Abstract: A force reducing apparatus includes a housing and cover plate, a pair of fixed anchor plates disposed to the housing and underside of the cover plate, a pivot plate assembly including a first pair pivot plates and a second pair of pivot plates connected to a fixed pair of anchor plates, the first pair of pivot plates connected to a first cable routed through the housing sidewall and connected to a clutch lever, the second pair of pivot plates connected to a second cable routed through the sidewall of the housing and connected to a clutch actuator at a clutch assembly, and a pair of idler plates connected to the pivot plates at the unanchored ends of the pivot plates. An operator pulls the first pair of pivot plates via the clutch lever to operate the plate assembly reducing the amount of force needed to release an engaged clutch.
