Abstract: A clutch adjuster to be used in a manually adjustable clutch is provided for compensating the effect of clutch wear. The clutch adjuster has a substantially flat top plate adapted to be secured to the clutch housing, a fastener, a rotary gear, a locking member and a resilient member. The fastener has a head and a shaft and being captured by an aperture in the substantially flat top plate. The rotary gear is connected to the shaft of the fastener. The locking member is configured below the substantially flat top plate and has at least one protrusion passing upward through the aperture of the substantially flat top plate and projecting therefrom. The protrusion is configured to be in a selective locking engagement with the head of the fastener. The resilient member is configured between the locking member and the rotary gear for resiliently biasing the locking member towards the substantially flat top plate.

Abstract: Present invention provides a tool for packing and setting a clutch assembly. The tool has a pair of arms and a connecting member. The pair of arms has a length, a width and a height and are substantially parallel to each other. The arms are connected at one end to the connecting member. The arms are adaptable to be placed in between a bearing cage and a cover of the clutch assembly wherein the height of the arms is so configured to keep different components of the clutch assembly in position when the clutch assembly is not installed in a vehicle.
Abstract: A pivot point release load adjuster assembly for use in a pull type angle spring clutch pressure plate assembly having a pair of pins connected to the housing end, a cradle swivelingly disposed on the pins, a pressure spring seat swivelingly disposed on release sleeve retainer pins and a pressure spring located between the cradle on the housing end and the pressure spring seat on the release sleeve retainer end. The cradle is operatively positioned on the pins thereby enabling the cradle to swivel about a pivot axis at a distance, between the pressure spring seat and the pivot axis. The assembly is adapted to operatively adjust the pivot axis away from the seat of the pressure spring towards the sleeve retainer end of the pressure spring whereby a desired lever ratio is achieved.
