Clutch Driven Members

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Corvette. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The driven member (clutch disc) has a splined hub that freely slides lengthwise along the splines of the input shaft, which also drives the shaft through these same splines. Suitable friction facings are attached to each side of the plate by rivets.

In order to make the clutch engagement as smooth as possible and eliminate chatter; the steel segments driving the splined hub are slightly waved, which causes the contact pressure on the facings to rise gradually as the waved springs flatten out.
