<p>A clutch operation assisting device 70 is adapted to be positioned between a clutch operating device 9 and a friction clutch 30 having a pressure plate 37 and a clutch spring 38 for urging the pressure plate 37 towards an engaged configuration, wherein the pressure plate 37 is rotatable about a rotation axis 39a. The clutch operation assisting device 70 comprises a slide member 39 adapted to rotatably support the pressure plate 37 and slide in a predetermined direction together with the pressure plate 37, and a first rotary member 51 adapted to be coupled to the clutch operating device 9 via a transmission member 43, wherein the first rotary member 51 rotates in accordance with the transmission member 43 to cause the slide member 39 to slide. An elastic member 67 is provided and is adapted to apply an urging force along a line of expansion/contraction S2 against the first rotary member 51, wherein the orientation of the line of expansion/contraction S2 changes during operation of the operating device 9 and does not intersect the rotation axis 39a of the pressure plate 37. The urging force causes the first rotary member 51 to rotate in the direction for disengaging the friction clutch 30 when the operating device 9 is configured between a disengage start position and a disengage position.</p> |
