Abstract
A driven disk in a clutch comprises a hub having a flange extending radially therefrom and having a spring cover affixed thereto. The spring cover defines at least one spring cavity therein and has two ends. Opposing first portions of the two ends define a first cavity length, and second opposing portions of the two ends define a second cavity length. A first spring is retained within the spring cavity wherein the first spring bears against the first end portions defining the first length. A second spring is also retained within the spring cavity wherein the second spring bears against the second end portions defining the second length.
