ABSTRACT:
The clutch and clutch plate of a friction clutch for use in the power trains of motor vehicles are mounted on a mandrel which maintains them in fixed axial positions during transport, storage and delivery to a production line where the kit including the mandrel, the clutch and the clutch plate is secured to the flywheel on the output shaft of the engine in a motor vehicle. At such time, a cylindrical front section of the mandrel extends into an axial recess of the output shaft. The mandrel is then withdrawn from the recess, clutch plate and clutch. Detent elements on the mandrel and clutch plate releasably hold the clutch plate against accidental movement toward the cylindrical section. A portion of the mandrel is designed to center the clutch, and a further section of the mandrel serves to prevent the clutch from moving axially and away from the clutch plate while the clutch plate is held by the detent elements.
