A pneumatic powered clutch linkage is provided. Forming a part of the pneumatic powered clutch linkage is a manual clutch linkage that includes a foot-operated clutch pedal that is operatively connected to a clutch rod or clutch actuating linkage through an interconnecting linkage. In conventional fashion, the clutch rod or clutch actuating linkage is connected to a clutch. In a manual mode of operation, the foot-operated clutch pedal can be depressed and in the course of depressing the clutch pedal the clutch rod or clutch actuating linkage is operative to disengage the clutch. In order to automatically actuate the clutch linkage, a pneumatic cylinder is operatively connected to the interconnecting linkage. A control valve that is adapted to be connected to a source of compressed air is connected to the pneumatic cylinder. By selectively actuating the control valve, compressed air can be directed to the pneumatic cylinder for actuating the same. In this automatic mode, the actuation of the pneumatic cylinder results in the manual clutch linkage being actuated which results in the clutch connected to the linkage being disengaged.
