Patent number: 11174940Abstract: A vehicle includes an powerplant, a manual transmission, and a clutch. A vehicle controller is programmed to automatically control operation of the clutch allowing the driver to shift gears by just operating the gear shifter. The vehicle also includes an input allowing the driver to override the controller and operate the clutch. The input is located on the gear shifter and is in electric communication with the controller. The controller is programmed to, inter alia, command the clutch to reduce clutch capacity responsive to receiving a signal from the sensor indicating grasping of the shifter.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Michael Glenn Fodor, Patrick J. Curran, Matthew John Shelton, Peter Douglas Kuechler
