An adjuster ring for use in either a manually adjustable or automatically adjustable friction clutch is disclosed. The adjuster ring is generally annular in shape and is provided with a threaded outer circumferential surface. The outer circumferential surface cooperates with a corresponding threaded inner circumferential surface formed on a cover attached to a flywheel of the clutch. Gear teeth are formed about an inner peripheral surface of the adjuster, which are adapted to cooperate with an automatic wear compensating device. A plurality of spaced lugs are formed about the adjuster ring on one face. The lugs are adapted to cooperate with a manual lock strap. Either the automatic wear compensating device or the manual lock strap may be utilized with the adjuster ring, depending upon whether automatic or manual wear compensation is desired. |
