FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device has a control lever, kinematically linked to sliding bars (6, 7, 8) with indentations on the outer surface, distribution valve unit (2) for clutch control, pilot valves fitted in the valve unit, coupling rods (14), which are kinematically linked to sliding bars (6, 7, 8) through reciprocating levers (11, 12), the projections of which enter the grooves on the outer surface of sliding bars (6, 7, 8), regulator (4) of clutch engagement, source (1) of pressurised actuating medium, and a servo-cylinder (3) for engaging and disengaging the clutch. The distribution valve unit (2) for clutch control is fitted on the fastening surface of the cover (5) of the gearbox, and has two reciprocating levers (11, 12), mounted in guide grooves of its housing, in contact with push rods (13), fitted in vertical openings in cover (5) of the gearbox in the plane of reciprocation of levers (11, 12), in contact with ball locks (10), of bars (6, 7, 8). The device also has rods (17), fitted vertically in the bottom part of the housing of the valve unit (2) directly under the openings of the release valve, in line with them. The upper ends of the rods are cone-shaped.
