A brake system for a vehicle comprises a vacuum pump mounted to an engine, wherein the vacuum pump is selectively connected to be driven by the engine. A clutch is mounted within a housing for the vacuum pump. The clutch can be selectively engaged to drive the vacuum pump with the engine. A sensor is connected to the clutch such that the clutch is actuated to engage when the sensor determines that one of a vacuum within the pump is below a predetermined vacuum threshold and when the engine speed is below a predetermined speed threshold. |
