ABSTRACT:
A friction torque transmitting device includes a flywheel and a housing, wherein a pressure plate and a driven plate are sandwiched between the housing and the flywheel. The driven plate is coupled to an axially extending drive shaft. A friction bracket assembly is secured to the torque transmitting device at an outer periphery by a pair of spaced dowels. The friction bracket assembly extends about a drive shaft for only a limited circumferential extent, so that each bracket of the assembly may be removed from the drive shaft without disassembly of the device. Each of the brackets include friction surfaces in order to frictionally engage the elements of the device. A forward bracket includes a guide member extending from the forward bracket that cooperates with another member of the device, such as the housing, to provide increased stability. A rearward bracket includes a guide member extending from the rearward bracket which cooperates with the forward bracket for increased stability. The guide members assist in maintaining the relative orientation of the brackets during axial movement.
