ABSTRACT:
A clutch driven plate assembly for use in an automotive vehicle adapted to dissipate the irregular impulses of the vehicle internal combustion or diesel engine when the transmission is in neutral, the clutch is engaged and the engine is at idle rpm. The assembly includes a clutch plate, a spring retainer plate secured to the clutch plate, and a hub in operative engagement with the transmission input shaft and having an integral hub flange with spring windows opened to allow an additional rotational travel of the clutch and spring retainer plates relative to the hub. A retainer is journalled on the hub so as to rotate with the clutch plate and has a plurality of equally spaced recesses facing the hub and receiving compression springs and plungers biased by the springs into engagement with complementary recesses formed in the hub flange. Rotation of the clutch plate and retainer relative to the hub causes the plungers to be cammed out of the recesses against the force of the compression springs.
