pwm for clutch

It just needs momentary power to engage the clutch and then the power is not needed. This is actually a safety issue. When the clutch is engaged and the power is off a quick jerk of the wheel releases the clutch. With the power on all the time the clutch will not release making manual steering impossible.

I think the RS drive works that way. For mine the "clutch" is a normally open valve that bypasses the pump and cylinder.
