Abstract
According to an illustrative example of the invention, a foot pedal acts upon a first master cylinder and with delay upon a second master cylinder. Both master cylinders are connected with a slave cylinder which acts upon a clutch releaser. In a first range of movement adjacent the clutch engagement condition, the foot pedal acts only upon the first master cylinder such that there is a small transmission ratio between the movement of the clutch pedal and the movement of the clutch releaser. In as second range of movement subsequent to the first range of movement, the clutch pedal acts upon both master cylinders so that there is a higher transmission ratio between the movement of the clutch pedal and the movement of the releaser.
