ABSTRACT:
A clutch cover for use in a diaphragm spring type clutch assembly and adapted to be disposed between a flywheel fixed to a motor vehicle engine crankshaft and a transmission input shaft includes a body portion, an engagement portion, an arcuate spring retention member, and an arcuate travel stop. The body portion is spaced from and extends across the flywheel and has a central aperture adapted to receive the input shaft. A first side of the body portion is directed toward the flywheel and a second side of the body portion is directed opposite the flywheel. The engagement portion extends downward from the body portion toward the flywheel for engagement therewith. The engagement portion defines a gap between the body portion and the flywheel. The arcuate spring retention member is located proximate to an outer periphery of the body portion at a first diameter at least as large in diameter as the diaphragm spring. The travel stop is formed on the first side of the body portion radially inwardly of the spring retention member and radially outwardly of the aperture.
