Abstract
A clutch engagement mechanism is provided, including a rotational shaft coupled to a clutch plate to engage and disengage the clutch plate in a clutch assembly, an arm extending from the rotational shaft to apply a rotating force to the rotational shaft, and a rotational pulley coupled to a distal end of the arm so as to rotate about a point at the distal end of the arm, and to receive a clutch control cable that provides a rotating force to the rotational pulley and the rotational shaft.

A clutch engagement mechanism comprising:
- a rotational shaft coupled to a clutch plate to engage and disengage the clutch plate in a clutch assembly;
- an arm extending from the rotational shaft to apply a rotating force to the rotational shaft;
- and
- a rotational pulley coupled to a distal end of the arm so as to rotate about a point at the distal end of the arm, and to receive a clutch control cable that provides a rotating force to the rotational pulley and the rotational shaft.

A clutch engagement mechanism comprising:
- a rotational shaft coupled to a clutch plate to engage and disengage the clutch plate in a clutch assembly;
- an arm extending from the rotational shaft to apply a rotating force to the rotational shaft;
- and
- a rotational member coupled to a distal end of the arm so as to rotate about a point at the distal end of the arm, the rotational member being configured to contact a rotational control member at a fixed or varying distance away from the point at the distal end of the arm about which the rotational member rotates to reduce a force required to rotate the distal end of the arm.
