Abstract
A control system for a vehicle drive train includes a controller which is responsive to a throttle signal from a throttle position sensor and which controls a clutch unit to control speed and acceleration and to obtain optimum driver "feel". The system is responsive to advancing movement of a throttle to a more open position to efficiently utilize rotating energy of engine parts for more rapid vehicle acceleration.
