Semi-Automatic Clutch System
About this device
If you have lost the use of a leg then a semi-automatic clutch system allows you to drive a manual vehicle.
The system takes over the control of the vehicles clutch and is available it two types:
- The syncro-drive clutch automatically controls the clutch operation for starting and stopping, a sensor is fitted into the gear nob which when covered depresses the clutch ready for changing gear when on the move.
- The duck clutch features a ‘duck shaped’ gear nob with a lever which controls the complete clutch operation. With this system greater varied control over the clutch is possible (great for off-roading etc.) but the starting and stopping procedure also needs to be controlled by the lever.
The semi-automatic clutch system is commonly combined with a hand control to allow you to drive a manual vehicle completely by hand. It can also be combined with a left foot accelerator system to allow you to drive a manual vehicle with just your left leg.
The system can be disabled to allow the vehicle to be driven completely conventionally (NB if combined with a left foot accelerator the clutch pedal is removed making the vehicle only driveable using the semi-auto clutch system).
This product is very popular with vehicles not available in automatic, motorhomes and performance cars.
