ABSTRACT:
A clutch cover assembly 3 is formed to improve the workability of installation of the clutch cover assembly 3 in which a pressure plate 17 is not fixed to a clutch cover 16. The clutch cover assembly 3 is disposed such that clutch disks 42 and 43 are disposed between a flywheel 2 and the clutch cover assembly 3. The clutch cover assembly 3 selectively urges the clutch disks 42 and 43 against the flywheel 2 via the pressure plate 17. The clutch cover assembly 3 basically includes a clutch cover 16, a diaphragm spring assembly 18, and a snap ring 21. First and second diaphragm springs 29 and 30 are disposed adjacent to the clutch cover 16 on a side closer to the flywheel 2. The first and second diaphragm springs 29 and 30 include first and second disk-shaped elastic portions 31 and 32 and pluralities of first and second lever portions 33 and 34. The disk-shaped elastic portions 31 and 32 are supported by the clutch cover 16 at an outer peripheral portion. The lever portions 33 and 34 extend from the first and second elastic portions 31 and 32 in a radially inner direction. The snap ring 21 stops a movement of the first and second diaphragm springs 29 and 30 relative to the clutch cover 16.
