Patent ID: 8631920

Claim:
A device for transmitting torque between a flywheel rotatably connected to an engine and a dual clutch transmission, the device comprising: a first coupling member fixed to a perimeter of a dual clutch of the dual clutch transmission, wherein the first coupling member includes a discrete tab that extends radially out from the perimeter of the dual clutch, and wherein the first coupling member defines a first bore having a radial centerline and having an open end; a second coupling member attached to a perimeter of the flywheel, the second coupling member having an outer perimeter and a radially extending, discrete tab protruding from the outer perimeter, and wherein the second coupling member includes a second bore disposed in the discrete tab having a radial centerline and configured to extend through the second coupling member from a first side of the second coupling member to a second side of the second coupling member; and an engagement member disposed in the second bore and in the first bore thereby aligning the centerlines of the first and second bores and rotationally coupling the first coupling member with the second coupling member to allow the transfer of torque between the flywheel and the dual clutch transmission.
