Title Pressure Plate Strap Drive Apparatus And Method Abstract of the Invention A strap drive 50 is employed for connecting a pressure plate 20 to a cover assembly 31 in a clutch 10. The strap drive provides a fixed concentricity of the pressure plate relative to the cover assembly during assembly of the clutch, and provides a method whereby misalignments due to weights and clearances of mating clutch parts may be avoided. A preferred method of insuring proper alignment of a clutch pressure plate includes the steps of forming a subassembly 80 to realign the pressure plate with respect to an adaptor ring 32, and fixing the subassembly to a flywheel 12 as an intermediate assembly procedure. The result is an avoidance of misalignments normally introduced during assembly, and which produce undesirable vibrations during operation of the clutch.
