ABSTRACT:
A clutch cover assembly has a clutch cover adapted to be coupled to a flywheel of an engine, a pressure plate disposed inwardly of the clutch cover, a diaphragm spring having an outer edge engaged by the clutch cover for resiliently pressing the pressure plate, a bearing fixed to an inner edge of the diaphragm spring and having rotatable elements and an inner race supporting the rotatable elements, a bearing hub axially movably disposed in the bearing for being axially movably disposed on an input shaft of a transmission, a locking member disposed between the inner race and the bearing hub for locking the bearing hub against movement with respect to the bearing away from the engine, and a release fork engageable with the bearing hub for axially moving the bearing hub and the bearing away from the engine to release the pressure plate from the diaphragm spring. For dismounting the transmission from the engine, the bearing hub is moved with respect to the bearing toward the engine to allow easy detachment of the input shaft of the transmission. Alternatively, the locking member may disengage from the bearing to permit removal of the bearing hub from the bearing for easy detachment of the transmission input shaft.
