Abstract
A device for transmitting torque between a flywheel rotatably connected to an engine and a dual clutch transmission. The device includes a first substantially u-shaped member fixed to a perimeter of a dual clutch of the dual clutch transmission. The first substantially u-shaped member defines a slot having an open end. The second substantially u-shaped member is attached to a perimeter of the flywheel. The second substantially u-shaped member includes a support member for supporting an engagement member. The first substantially u-shaped member fits at least partially within the second substantially u-shaped member. The pair of bushings disposed proximate the engagement member between the first and second coupling members. The engagement member of the second substantially u-shaped member is configured to engage the open end of the slot of the first substantially u-shaped member and align the first substantially u-shaped member with the second substantially u-shaped member thereby transferring torque between the flywheel and the dual clutch transmission.
