Abstract
A clutch comprising a flywheel and one or more axially extending driving friction disks is provided. The pressure plate of the clutch is resiliently urged into engagement with at least one of the friction disks. A resilient driving means extends from the flywheel to drive a plate engaging means located adjacent the friction disks. The driving means engages the engaging plate means and acts as a vibration and tumbling arresting means to reduce wear and noise encountered during the operation of the clutch.
