The coupling mechanism ( ) includes a connecting pin disposed on one of the bracket and the interlocking member ( ), and receiving bores formed in the other of the bracket and the interlocking member ( ) for receiving said connecting pin. The receiving bores are in form of slots shaped such that the clutch pedal has a lost motion only in an initial pivotal displacement thereof not to transmit the pivotal displacement to the control valve.
