Abstract
A clutch actuator for a manual-shift motor vehicle transmission, includes a driver-operated clutch pedal or lever, a clutch linkage between a clutch of the motor vehicle and the pedal or lever, and a damper adapted to delay clutch engagement on a fast release of the clutch pedal or lever. The damper is effective to delay clutch engagement only within a limited range of a whole clutch engagement movement and is substantially ineffective outside the limited range and within the whole range of a clutch disengagement movement.
