Abstract
A clutch cover assembly having a wear compensating mechanism having accurate wear compensation is provided. In the clutch cover assembly a restricting mechanism restricts movement of a pressure plate away from a friction facing in a clutch release operation. The restricting mechanism is configured to detect an amount of wear of the friction facing and to shift a stopping position of the pressure plate moving away from the friction facing in accordance with the wear amount toward the friction facing A strap plate biases the pressure plate away from the friction facing A leaf spring axially biases the pressure plate and the fulcrum ring toward each other.
