Abstract
A device, sometimes referred to as a clutch brake warning indicator, that provides feedback, which may be tactile, audible or visual, to the vehicle operator as the clutch pedal is nearing the point of its stroke where the clutch brake will be engaged. In use, the feedback clutch brake warning indicator will assist the driver against applying the clutch brake during shifting operations, which can cause severe damage to the clutch.
