ABSTRACT:
An adjustment mechanism for a clutch is partially recessed within a clutch cover. The disclosed adjustment mechanism includes a support bracket, a rotation assembly, and a locking plate. The support bracket includes a web and a pair of side walls defining a U-shaped channel. Each side wall includes a flange on one end of the side wall opposite the web. Each flange extends away from the channel generally parallel to the web of the support bracket. The rotational assembly is secured to the support bracket and includes a gear that cooperates with an adjusting ring of the clutch. A head of the rotation assembly is entirely received within the channel of the support bracket; thus, no portion of the rotation assembly extends from the channel beyond the flanges of the support bracket. Further, a locking plate is secured to the support bracket to selectively prevent rotation of the rotation assembly. Moreover, no portion of the locking plate extends from the channel of the support bracket beyond the flanges.
