Abstract:
A coupling assembly adapted to connect an engine directly to a transmission, comprising in combination:a flywheel adapted to be connected to the engine; a transmission plate adapted to be connected to the transmission, said transmission plate having a first connection port and a second connection port, said first connection port and said second connection port are substantially round, said first connection port is larger than said second connection port, said first connection port and said second connection port connecting said flywheel to said transmission plate; a first bushing positioned within a first torsional dampener being positioned within said first connection port; and a second bushing positioned within a second torsional dampener being positioned within said second connection port, whereby the emission of torsional vibrations between said engine and said transmission are reduced through said first torsional dampener and said second torsional dampener.
