Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to a self-adjusting clutch, and more specifically, to a sensor assembly adapted to absorb vibrational forces and prevent misadjustment of the clutch. A clutch is provided including a clutch cover assembly including a cover rotatable about and axis. The pressure plate is spaced apart from the clutch cover assembly and is moveable along the axis for engaging the clutch member. A sleeve including a retainer is moveable along the axis between engaged and disengaged positions. A lever having first and second opposing ends are respectively supported between the container and the clutch cover assembly. The lever includes a fulcrum arranged between first and second ends supported by a portion of the pressure plate. A resilient member is arranged between the portion of the pressure plate and the fulcrum for absorbing vibrational forces transmitted in the direction of the axis.
