ABSTRACT:
A centering abutment to readily locate the clutch member relative to the side member of the housing of a viscous fluid drive. The side member has an opening for a bearing in which is located an input shaft. Lands and grooves are located on the side and clutch members. When substantial radial clearance exists between the housing and clutch member, problems are encountered in assembling the members. Assembly time is greatly reduced by providing the centering abutment on one of the members for alignment with a trough in the other member. The length of the abutment is greater than the length of the lands on the member and preferably has an angled outer portion for quick alignment.
