ABSTRACT:
The clutch plate vibration stabilizer is a simple addition to the standard drive plate of a friction and drive plate clutch assembly. A groove is made in the notch wall on each side of alternate notches in the clutch drive plates of the clutch. Another notch is cut adjacent to the notch wall in the circumference of the drive plate. This allows an O-ring to be placed in the drive plate on the notch wall and retained. These O-rings then serve to cushion the impact between the drive plate notch and the clutch shell keys when the clutch is engaged and disengaged to shift gears. An alternate method of gluing or vulcanizing a C shaped or other shape rubber or elastomer buffer to the wall of the drive plate notch is also described.
