A clutch delay valve is an automotive component added to the clutch system of an automobile to standardize clutch engagement. Its purpose is to engage the drive train of an automobile without introducing shock to the drive train by engaging too quickly.
Clutch delay valves operate on the principle that engagement only needs to occur at a certain rate to be efficient and that engaging at a quicker rate can damage the drive train components of an automobile. Engaging the dive train to the engine too quickly can damage drive train parts, including the transmission, differential, half shafts, axles, and CV joints.
Clutch delay valves operate as one-way restrictor valves that limit the volume of fluid that can move through the lines in a given time. Clutches can quickly disengage but engagement is damped.
