Abstract
A control system for a vehicle having a manual transmission system includes an anti-lock braking system configured to apply brakes of the vehicle, a clutch pedal configured to control engagement/disengagement of a clutch disc with a pressure plate of the manual transmission system, and a controller configured to perform a clutch burst prevention technique when the clutch pedal is depressed such that the clutch disc is disengaged from the pressure plate, the clutch burst prevention technique comprising: obtaining a set of operating parameters of the vehicle, determining a vehicle speed threshold based on the set of operating parameters, the vehicle speed threshold being a speed of the vehicle at which clutch burst begins to occur, and when the vehicle speed is within a first threshold amount from the vehicle speed threshold, decreasing the vehicle speed by commanding the anti-lock braking system to apply the vehicle brakes.
