ABSTRACT:
A multiple-component torque transmitting apparatus for attachment to the crankshaft of an engine is assembled by: (a) moving the pressure plate of an assembled friction clutch by a force applying device axially in a first direction toward a clutch housing and against the bias of a clutch spring with a force exceeding the operating point of the clutch spring, (b) measuring the magnitude of the force and the distance which is covered by the pressure plate and/or one or more portions of the spring and generating corresponding signals, (c) jointly moving the housing and the pressure plate axially in a second direction counter to the first direction and with a force exceeding the operating point and generating corresponding signals, (d) relaxing the force upon the clutch, (e) processing the signals into a further signal denoting the desired or optimum operating point of the clutch spring, (f) moving the clutch and a flywheel against each other until the bias of the spring reaches the calculated operating point, and (g) fixing the housing to the flywheel.
