Abstract: Clutch pedal vibrations in manual transmissions affect driver comfort and control. This study investigates the use of a Clutch Release Line Damper to reduce pedal pulsation without compromising clutch system efficiency. The damper controls hydraulic fluid flow between the master and slave cylinders, absorbing vibrations through volume expansion and contraction in the damper chamber. Four dampers tuned at different frequencies (‘A’ Hz, ‘B’ Hz, ‘C’ Hz, ‘D’ Hz) were tested at various engine idle speeds (800, 1500, 2500 RPM). Results show the ‘B’ Hz tuned damper provided optimal vibration reduction across all conditions. These findings shows that proper frequency tuning of the damper improves pedal comfort while maintaining system responsiveness.
