Key Features & Benefits

This thing basically manages how smoothly your clutch engages and disengages. Modern vehicles often use a servo to automate that process, rather than relying entirely on the driver’s foot. It gets signals from the engine control unit – things like engine speed, throttle position – and uses that info to precisely control hydraulic pressure to the clutch. It handles the fine adjustments to make shifting smoother and prevent jerking, especially in stop – and – go traffic or when you're starting from a stop. Some systems also use it to help with things like hill – start assist. Think of it as the brain behind the automatic operation of your clutch. It doesn’t replace the clutch itself, it controls how the hydraulics work with the clutch. It receives instructions, then tells the clutch system exactly what to do, when to do it. It's usually part of a larger system, so it works alongside things like the clutch master cylinder and the transmission control module.
