Clutch linkage with vibration isolation and damping

摘要

Attenuation of transmission of noise along a clutch linkage (122) for a manual transmission clutch is achieved by providing a segmented linkage. A clutch pedal side segment (42) has a substantially greater mass than does the clutch lever side segment (44). Bidirectional force between the clutch lever side segment and the clutch pedal side segment is through compressible bearings located inside a coupler (40) between the segments.
