Abstract
A motor vehicle clutch driven plate having a flanged hub comprising a pressed annular metal plate having a central cylindrical neck and a central insert. The insert has inner splines for mating with a shaft and outer teeth for engagement in the neck. The insert is a force fit into the neck so that engagement of the teeth with the internal surface of the neck holds the insert in its operative position relative to the plate which then constitutes the hub flange. Such a construction allows a large number of inserts having different internal splines to be used with a single metal plate.
