ABSTRACT:
A vehicle clutch assembly comprising a clutch housing which can be connected to a flywheel, twin clutch plates which can be connected to an output shaft, an intermediate plate which is arranged to press the one clutch plate against a surface on the flywheel and which is coupled to the clutch housing via axially acting plate springs, and a pressure plate which is arranged to press the other clutch plate against the intermediate plate and which is spring-biassed in a direction toward it. Structure is connected to the intermediate plate for centering it between the clutch plates when the clutch is disengaged. The plate springs are arranged to bias the intermediate plate in a direction toward that one clutch plate. The centering structure is arranged between the pressure plate and the intermediate plate so that--departing from an engaged clutch--the pressure plate, when disengaging the clutch, is movable through a given limited distance in the clutch-disengaging direction prior to moving the intermediate plate.
