A twin mass flywheel assembly in the form of a twin mass flywheel ( ), a clutch cover ( ) attached to the flywheel, a clutch driven plate ( ), a clutch pressure plate ( ), and spring means ( ) supported from the cover to clamp the driven plate between the flywheel and pressure plate to transmit torque through the assembly. The driven plate ( ) includes a central hub portion ( ) and an outer friction portion ( ) supported from the hub portion via a slipping clutch which may be in the form of a tolerance ring ( ) which allows relative rotation between these portions at torque levels above a predetermined torque thus protecting the assembly and associated driveline from damage due to high level but short duration torsional loading.
