A radially inward portion of the clutch cover is formed with a plurality of bent tabs. A pressure plate is disposed within the clutch cover. A diaphragm spring is supported by the bent tabs. A conical spring is disposed between the diaphragm spring and the clutch cover. The conical spring is formed with a plurality of engagement portions on a radially inward portion thereof. A support plate has a generally annular shape and a portion of the support plate is clamped between the diaphragm spring and the clutch cover. The support plate is formed with a plurality of support portions which engage the conical spring confining axial movement of a portion of the conical spring with respect to the clutch cover. As well, the support plate is formed with a plurality of claw portions which extend into the engagement portions of the conical spring restricting rotation of the conical spring with respect to the support plate.
