Clutch Actuation System

This consists of an electrical actuator installed between the steering wheel and the clutch pedal. The actuator is controlled by a separate box, no laptop is required. The control box allows entry of a actuation rate in mm/s. Once installed in the car the system is used to find the rate at which the vehicle launches rather than stalls. This is an effective and useful metric. It considers more than just the clutch system - it includes the engine stallability calibration and the effects of components such as dual mass flywheels.
