A diaphragm clutch cover assembly comprising a cover, a diaphragm spring, a fulcrum ring on the side of the diaphragm spring remote from the cover and connecting members interconnecting the cover and the fulcrum ring. The connecting members each comprise an integral boss on one or both of the cover and the fulcrum ring extending axially toward the other of the cover and the fulcrum ring. The bosses may comprise dimples with a front wall bonded or riveted to a flat wall portion of the other of the cover and the fulcrum ring. Alternatively, the bosses may be tubular with internal apertures which are force-fitted or bonded to studs or complementary tubular bosses on the other of the cover and the fulcrum ring. Preferably, the connecting members are arranged axially within mean transverse planes through planar portions of the cover and fulcrum ring respectively. |
