CLUTCH

摘要

Improvement in a pulling clutch which performs a releasing operation by pulling a release bearing (26) away from a flywheel (10) using a release lever (27) connected to a clutch pedal. Clutch disks (12, 16) are spline-fitted to an input shaft (22) on the transmission side and a sleeve portion (24) of a release retainer (30) is disposed on the outer periphery of this input shaft (22) while the release bearing (26) is fixed to the sleeve portion (24) at its end portion on the transmission side. A retainer portion (32) for transmitting a load which expands outward in the radial direction of the sleeve portion (24) is molded continuously from and integrally with the end portion of the sleeve portion (24) on the transmission side, and spline portions (25, 21) are disposed in such a fashion as to check revolution in the circumferential direction while permitting sliding of the sleeve portion (24) and the clutch cover (20) in the axial direction of the release retainer (30).
