There is disclosed a conversion for a clutch of a motor vehicle which uses a conventional Belleville spring (160) to bias a pressure plate (140) and clamp a clutch disc (150) between the pressure plate and the flywheel (130) of the vehicle. In this invention, the frictional linings (142) of the conventional clutch are substituted by frictional linings (10, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 70 and 71) which are preferably located at optimum geometric spacing, and which have from 30-70 percent less surface area for frictional engagement than that conventionally furnished with the clutch. The invention includes clutch linings having non-metallic base rings (20). This provides the manufacturer the capability of molding the facings and base ring in a signal operation (integral), or molding the facing and bonding it to the base ring in a single operation, permitting an easy change of production between moderate and high performance clutch linings simply by switching mold dies or adding inserts to the mold dies. |
