A setting pin assembly is disclosed for properly positioning a positioning pin in a two disc clutch. In one embodiment, the setting pin assembly is slidably received in an aperture in a clutch cover, with the aperture being coaxial to the positioning pin. The setting pin preferably has enlarge portions at each axial end of the clutch cover. The enlarged portion on the inner end of the setting pin transmits force to the positioning pin over a relatively great surface area. A spring is preferably mounted between the clutch cover and the enlarged portion at the outer end of the setting pin, to normally bias the setting pin outwardly of the clutch cover and force the enlarged portion on the inner end of the clutch cover against the aperture. The setting pin extends outwardly of the clutch cover, and by merely contacting the setting pin with a hammer or similar tool the positioning pin may be moved to a proper position.
