Abstract
A method of controlling an activation load applied to a clutch pedal. A first load is applied to the clutch pedal that has a first reaction force in a first phase of pedal movement. A switch is activated at the end of the first phase. When the switch is activated, a second load that is greater than the first load is applied to the pedal that provides a second reaction force in a second phase of pedal movement.
