Zusammenfassung:	Provided is a clutch pedal mechanism having a clutch lever member pivotably connected to a pedal mount and having a first position corresponding to an engaged clutch condition, a second position corresponding to an disengaged clutch condition, and a third position intermediate of said first and second position. A plurality of springs are provided to reduce the pedal effort required by the operator to move the clutch lever member from the third position to the second position. At least one of the plurality of springs is selectively removable to selectively increase the pedal force required to move the clutch lever member from the third position to the second position, such that the pedal force may be varied to correspond to the driving style of the operator.
