Abstract
A clutch cover assembly 3 includes a clutch cover 12, a pressure plate 10, a pin 33, a diaphragm spring 11 and a coil spring 34. The pin 33 extends in an axial direction and its one end is fixed to at least one of the flywheel 1 and the clutch cover 12. The pin 33 also connects with the pressure plate 10 in a manner such that relative rotation between the pressure plate 10 and the clutch cover 12 is restricted but limited axial movement is possible. A diaphragm spring 11, supported by the clutch cover 12, presses the pressure plate 10 toward the flywheel 1. The coil spring 34 is a mechanism which release the pressure plate 10 from the flywheel 1 side, when the diaphragm spring 11 stops pressing the pressure plate 10.
