Abstract: A drive assembly for a motor vehicle clutch is provided. The drive assembly includes a damper including a plurality of springs, a first cover plate and second cover plate. The first and second cover plates support the springs therebetween and the second cover plate includes an outer portion extending radially outside of the first cover plate. The drive assembly further includes a subassembly including at least one clutch facing and at least one support segment supporting the at least one clutch facing. The at least one support segment includes an outer radial portion fixed to the at least one clutch facing and an inner radial portion connected to the outer portion of the second cover plate to connect the subassembly to the damper.

Abstract: A hub assembly for a marine vessel propulsion unit is provided. The hub assembly includes a hub having a splined inner circumferential surface including first axially aligned splines and a further inner circumferential surface radially offset from the splined inner circumferential surface. The hub assembly also includes a seal held by the further inner circumferential surface. The seal includes a splined inner circumferential seal surface having second axially aligned splines aligned with the first axially aligned splines.

Abstract: A damper hub assembly for a marine vessel propulsion unit is provided. The damper hub assembly includes a damper hub having an inner circumferential surface and a disc held at the inner circumferential surface. A drive assembly for a marine vessel propulsion unit is also provided that includes the damper hub assembly, a damper on an outer surface of the damper hub and a flywheel fixed to the damper configured for transferring torque from an engine to the damper hub via the damper. A method for forming damper hub assembly for a marine vessel propulsion unit is also provided that includes securing a disc to an inner circumferential surface of a damper hub at an engine side of the damper hub.
