System and method for controlling a clutch plate assembly of a vehicle

A method for controlling a clutch plate assembly of a vehicle comprising the steps of:

• receiving, by a valve system, a first pressure from a first clutch control system and a second pressure from a, the second clutch control system being controlled by a clutch pedal;
• providing, via the valve system, at least a portion of at least one of the first pressure and the second pressure to the clutch plate assembly;
• and
• generating the first pressure by the first clutch control system to be greater than the second pressure when a movement speed of the clutch pedal is outside a predetermined speed range.

A system for controlling a clutch plate assembly of a vehicle comprising:

• a processor;
• a clutch-by-wire control system;
• a mechanical clutch control system being controlled by a clutch pedal;
• a shuttle valve having a first input fluidly connected to the clutch-by-wire control system for receiving a first pressure from the clutch-by-wire control system, a second input configured to be fluidly connected to the mechanical clutch control system for receiving a second pressure from the mechanical clutch control system, and an output configured to be fluidly connected to the clutch plate assembly;
• the shuttle valve being configured to provide, via the output, at least a portion of at least one of the first pressure and the second pressure to the clutch plate assembly;
• and
• a memory in communication with the processor and having a clutch control module, the clutch control module having instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to instruct the clutch-by-wire control system to generate the first pressure such that the first pressure is greater than the second pressure when a movement speed of the clutch pedal is outside a predetermined speed range.
