Abstract: A manual adjustment mechanism for a clutch is provided wherein an adjusting gear rotates an adjusting ring relative to a pressure plate that are interconnected by means of inclined surfaces or threaded surfaces. The adjustment gear is disposed inboard of a diaphragm spring and is rotated manually with access being provided through the diaphragm spring. The adjusting gear and inclined surfaces may be protected by contamination baffles. The adjusting gear may be locked in place between service operations by means of interlocking elements.

Abstract: A manual adjustment mechanism for a clutch is provided wherein an adjusting gear rotates an adjusting ring relative to a pressure plate that are interconnected by means of an inclined surface or a threaded surface. The adjustment gear is mounted on a shaft and is rotated manually. An externally visible indicator is provided that is based upon axial movement of the adjustment gear shaft that moves with the pressure plate and relative to the clutch housing. The adjusting gear and inclined surfaces may be locked in place between service operations by means of locking elements.

Abstract: A clutch brake is provided that includes a brake housing adapted to be non-movably secured relative to a driveline master clutch. The brake housing includes a through-hole sized to allow passage of a shaft and at least one source of magnetic flux. The clutch brake also includes an armature secured for rotation with the shaft and positioned axially adjacent the brake housing in a disengaged state. At least a portion of the armature is adapted to move axially on the shaft in the presence of magnetic flux to contact the brake housing in an engaged state and inhibit rotation of the armature and the shaft.
