Yes, of course, the yaw damper controlled rudder input. If you lost the Y/D the book said attempt to control the Dutch roll with aileron/spoiler input. However if you knew when to manually apply rudder input, to control the D/R, it was far more effective than fighting it with ailerons/spoilers. Had to "know what you were doing" though, or didn't even think about it. With A/P engaged the clue for rudder input, was in the control wheel displacement. Taking lag into consideration, the rudder input was applied when the control wheel was in the exact opposite position (on the A/C I used to operate) as the handling pilot would initially expect.
