  • SEMI-INDEPENDENT AUTOMATED CLUTCH SYSTEM FOR A MANUAL TRANSMISSION
    Publication number: 20180281591
    Abstract: A product that may include a clutch. A multi-chamber hydraulic unit may define a first chamber, a second chamber and a third chamber, each within the multi-chamber hydraulic unit. A first piston may separate the first chamber from the second chamber. The clutch may open in response to movement of the first piston. A second piston may separate the second chamber from the third chamber. A powered pump and a control valve may be provided wherein one of the second or third chambers may be in interruptible fluid communication with the powered pump through the control valve.
