  • Publication number: 20090266189
    Abstract: A clutch control system includes a release fork including a press arm and a drive arm, the release fork operating a clutch to one of an engagement state and a disengagement state, a worm wheel rotatably supported by a wheel shaft and including teeth, a roller rotatably supported by a support pin of which one end is fixed to the worm wheel, the support pin extending in parallel with the wheel shaft while having a predetermined distance therefrom, and a worm driven to rotate by an electric motor and engaging with the teeth. When the worm wheel is driven by the motor, the roller presses a side portion of the drive arm to rotate the release fork, and a release bearing of the clutch is pressed by an end portion of the press arm to bring the clutch to one of the engagement state and the disengagement state.
