<p>A clutch pedal dashpot (10) for controlling the rate torque is applied to a vehicular driveline during the coupling of an engine to a transmission by controlling the rate at which the clutch engages via damping clutch pedal travel. The dashpot is for use in a vehicle, such as a heavy-duty truck, which includes a clutch pedal (20) displaced between a resting position and a depressed position. The clutch pedal dashpot includes a damper piston (32), coupled to the clutch pedal (20), for controlling the rate at which the clutch pedal returns to the first position from the second position during coupling so as to control the rate of clutch engagement, thereby controlling the rate of torque applied to the driveline. <IMAGE></p> |
