Motor vehicle clutch assembly including stop for limiting liftoff of a clutch plate assembly
A motor vehicle clutch assembly is provided. The motor vehicle clutch assembly includes a radially extending section including an abutment surface; a clutch pack including a first clutch plate and a separator plate; an axially movable piston for engaging the clutch pack; and elastic connectors connecting the separator plate to the radially extending section. The elastic connectors preload the separator plate away from the abutment surface. The motor vehicle clutch assembly also includes a stop arranged for contacting the separator plate to limit axial movement of the separator plate away from the abutment surface. The stop is an axial distance away from the abutment surface such that the separator plate is forceable by the elastic connectors against the stop to provide clearance such that the first clutch plate is movable away from the abutment surface. A method of forming a motor vehicle clutch assembly is also provided.
