AUTOMOBILE WITH AUTOMATIC CLUTCH

摘要

The clutch between the crankshaft of the engine and the input shaft of the change-speed transmission in an automotive vehicle is disengaged in automatic response to start of actuation and during actuation of the gear-shift. An adjusting unit which is activated in response to manipulation of the gear-shift automatically changes the rate of fuel delivery to the engine, irrespective of the position of the gas pedal, so that the engine receives fuel at a rate matching or approximating that when the engine is idling during the interval which elapses while the operator selects a different transmission speed ratio.
