Clutch Engagement Control System in Response to Transmission Shift Lever Position

摘要

A method to control a driveline clutch system disposed between an engine and a manual or semi-automatic transmission where position sensors indicate the location of a gearshift lever in a gear selection gate to provide information to a clutch controller connected to a clutch actuator. The clutch is engaged when the gearshift lever is moved past the 80 percent position to a 100 percent position in a gear selection gate and the clutch is disengaged when the gearshift lever is moved from the 100 percent position to the 20 percent position in a gear selection gate.
