ABSTRACT:
A shim cap device provides an apparatus for achieving clutch lever adjustment. In a preferred form, a plurality of shim caps are each selected for an appropriate thickness of a shim portion thereon. Each selected cap is interposed between one tail end of the several clutch release levers and a pressure plate boss normally directly engageable by that particular tail end. Each shim portion has a selective thickness for the purpose of establishing an initial adjustment of each associated clutch release lever. In a preferred form, the shim portion of each cap is disposed for planar contact with the radial surface of its associated boss, and is integral with a wall portion disposed orthogonally to the shim portion. The wall portion extends about the perimeter of the shim portion for press fit engagement of the sides of the associated boss. In one preferred form, the wall portion defines sides which extend continuously about the perimeter of the shim portion, and the sides are flared at an angle with respect to the shim portion greater than 90.degree.. In another preferred form, the wall portion is discontinuous about the perimeter of the shim portion.
