Abstract
An intermediate plate positioning mechanism for a twin clutch equipped with an annular intermediate plate inside a clutch cover. In this mechanism; a hole piercing in an axial direction is made on an outer peripheral part of the intermediate plate, a slide member is disposed in the hole, a first coil spring is compressedly installed between the slide member and a flywheel, a second coil spring is compressedly installed between the slide member and a pressure plate, a friction load between the slide member and an inner peripheral surface of the hole is settled within a region where the slide member slides along the hole in an axial direction when a difference between spring loads of the both coil springs becomes larger than a prescribed setting value at a time of clutch engagement, and stops at a position at which loads of both springs become equivalent, and at the same time the friction load is settled within a region where the slide member moves integrally with the intermediate plate at a time of clutch disengagement.
