Abstract:
An apparatus for reducing clutch pedal effort may include a spring bracket coupled with a hinge pipe, a switching lever rotatably coupled with the hinge pipe so as to come into contact with a pedal arm during a rotation of the switching lever, thus intensifying a forward rotation of the pedal arm, and a reaction providing unit combined with a pedal member and the switching lever at opposite ends. The reaction providing unit may be operated in such a way that, when the switching lever is not rotated, the reaction providing unit sets an initial position of the switching lever by restricting a movement of the switching lever using accumulated elasticity, and when the switching lever is rotated, the reaction providing unit provides a reaction force to the pedal arm so as to cause the switching lever to come into contact with the pedal arm.
