Device for reducing mechanical rattle in a splines connection between a shaft (15) and a sleeve element (4) surrounding the shaft, especially between the input shaft to a vehicle gearbox and the hub sleeve of the clutch disc. The device consists of a metal washer (6) with less backlash against the splines (16) of the shaft (15) than the hub sleeve. The washer is biassed by means of a spring washer (8) against a frictional surface (10) of the hub sleeve. The frictional torque is selected so that the washer when shifting between normal engine drive and engine braking rotates relative to the hub sleeve, but is fixed relative thereto when idling. |
