Abstract
A clutch mechanism intended to be installed between an engine and a transmission of a motor vehicle. The clutch mechanism is configured to be installed on the transmission (400) in two steps and by means of an axial locking system for axial locking of the control system (300) with respect to a clutch (100, 200). The axial locking system comprises a first axial locking element (304, 402) for implementing at least an axial retention between the control system (300) and the transmission (400), and a second axial locking element (600) for implementing at least an axial retention between the clutch (100, 200) and a shaft (A1, A2) of the transmission, and a means for rotational coupling of a clutch support (500) with respect to the control system (300), the rotational coupling means being different from the axial locking system.
