ABSTRACT:
A positioning device for positioning the intermediate plate of a multiple plate friction clutch as wear occurs. The device includes a base plate and facing assembly disposed adjacent the outer surface of each intermediate plate drive lug. The assembly includes a layer of friction material which frictionally engages the outer surface of the lug. A lock plate is disposed outwardly of each assembly. Each lock plate and assembly is secured to the lug by a spring loading bolt passing through apertures therein. The friction force is adjusted with the bolt. The lock plate includes a first pair of tabs which engage the head of the bolt to prevent rotation and a second pair of tabs to fit in a slot in the clutch cover and prevent rotation of the lock plate. The positioning device abuts the flywheel and the clutch cover alternately during use and is moved relative to the lug as the friction surfaces wear.
