Playing with my new motorhome as you do, flicked a switch on the dash and the clutch pedal fell to the floor :(. Is it supposed to do this and if so what is the reason for it, never seen anything like it before.
Anyone have any ideas.
Regards
Tom

Does the pedal return if you flick it the other way ?
Does it return slowly ?

I have a suspicion its been modified with an actuator motor/ solenoid for a left leg amputee.

Yep, an auto clutch....but the switch is usually part of the gear lever.
Someone has bodged it into the dashboard instead of replacing the gear lever.
The clutch will work conventiomnally if the switch is off.

MAN Trucks have had this on trucks for a long time. Called comfort shift it had a button on the gear lever but the clutch pedal stayed up. Good system for heavy traffic but you had to use the pedal when moving off or stopping.
