ABSTRACT:
A clutch driven plate assembly for use in an automotive vehicle adapted to dissipate the irregular impulses of the vehicle engine with the transmission in neutral, the clutch engaged and the engine at idle rpm. The assembly comprises a clutch plate, a spring retainer plate secured to the clutch plate, and a hub assembly in operative engagement with the transmission input shaft and including an inner hub, an outer hub having spring windows therein, and a meshing backlash spline connection between said hubs allowing limited relative rotation therebetween; the clutch plate and spring retainer plate having spring windows axially aligned and substantially coinciding with said outer hub spring windows to receive damper springs therein. An axially movable inner cam has a splined opening receiving the splined transmission shaft and projections with 45.degree. camming surfaces, an outer cam has cooperating camming surfaces and lugs projecting into notches in the hub spring windows, and cam springs positioned in aligned recesses in the inner cam and inner hub to align the splines of the inner cam and inner hub and yieldably bias the parts axially apart.
