A clutch travel stop limits the amount of vehicular clutch travel adjustment normally permitted for compensating clutch component wear. The stop is attached to a centrifugal weight and roller clutch actuation module to control the amount of permissible wear of clutch components including, for example, friction plate linings. In one embodiment, the stop is defined by a protuberance, such as an integrally formed radially extending lug integrally affixed to an outer circumferential periphery of the housing of the centrifugal module. The lug is positioned to arrest relative movement between respective flanges of a clutch cover and the centrifugal module to limit adjustment of the clutch so that an over-adjustment condition is avoided. Potential damage to critical clutch components is thereby minimized, such as damage to flywheel and pressure plate components caused by fasteners that become exposed after clutch linings retained by the fasteners to the friction disc have become worn.
