Abstract
A transmission of a motor vehicle can have a friction clutch with a torsional vibration damper and a clutch disc. In the friction clutch there can be a control plate for the control of a friction action as a function of the torsion angle, which control plate can be centered in one direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation by means of at least two diagonally opposite stop edges. The stop edges preferably can interact with two opposite-facing end surfaces of the coil springs within the clutch disc. It can thereby be possible to center the control plate independently of the guide diameter of the hub.
