DUAL CLUTCH DESIGN FOR AN ELECTRO-MECHANICAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAVING A DUAL INPUT SHAFT

摘要

A dual clutch system (20, 22) is provided for a transmission (10) having dualinput shafts (14, 16). The dual clutch system (20, 22) includes first andsecond flywheels (96, 98), first and second friction disk assemblies (100,116), and first and second pressure plates (102, 118) which are engaged by anelectro-mechanical clutch actuator (26, 28).
