A clutch control system for automatic control of a motor vehicle clutch, controls reengagement of the clutch depending on the difference between the actual engine sped (V<SB>e</SB>) and a reference speed (V<SB>r</SB>). Below a threshold value of vehicle momentum, the reference speed is a function of the degree of throttle opening, and above the threshold value of vehicle momentum, the reference speed is ramped down to promote rapid engagement of the clutch to a fully clamped condition. The ramping down of the reference value reduces take-up time and hence the amount of clutch slip, avoiding overheating of the clutch and excessive wear. |
