ABSTRACT:
A clutch assembly (1) in a first embodiment is provided with a flywheel (7), a clutch cover (42), arcuate engagement plates (40) and wire members (44). Each arcuate engagement plate (40) includes an engagement portion fixed to an outer circumferential portion of the flywheel (7) and extending in a direction away from an engine and a bent portion (40b) further extending in a axial direction from an end of the engagement portion and bent radially inwardly. The clutch cover (42) has a hole (42b) into which the bent portion (40b) is inserted without any gap in the circumferential direction and is in contact with an end of the engagement portion of an arcuate projecting plate (40). The wire members (44) are detachably disposed between the ends of the bent portions (40b) and the clutch cover (42). The wire members (44) prevent the clutch cover (42) from moving toward the bent portions (40b). In a second embodiment, a clutch assembly (101), arcuate engagement plates (140) are fixed to an outer circumferential portion of the flywheel (7). An outer circumferential portion of the clutch cover (142) is engaged in a non-rotatable manner with the arcuate engagement plate (140) and detachably in a direction away from the flywheel (7). Bolts (144) limit the axial movement of the clutch cover (142) away from the arcuate engagement plates (140).
