Abstract: An electric slave cylinder clutch actuation system includes a clutch pedal sensor connected to a clutch pedal. The clutch pedal sensor is actuated by rotation of the clutch pedal about a rotational axis of the clutch pedal to generate an electrical signal. An electric slave cylinder is positioned within a transmission housing of a vehicle transmission. The electric slave cylinder is in communication with the clutch pedal sensor and includes: a body adapted to receive an actuator housing; and a tube extending from the actuator housing positioned within the transmission housing having an electrical cable assembly extending through the tube to protect the electrical cable assembly within the transmission housing. An actuator positioned within the actuator housing is operated by the electrical signal transmitted via the electrical cable assembly to displace a clutch actuation plate into contact with a clutch plate.
