Abstract
In a storage configuration of a clutch cover assembly, its pressure plate (14) is immobilized by at least one limiting member (41) comprising two lugs (43, 43') each having two arms (45, 46 (45', 46')). In the method of manufacturing the clutch cover assembly, the lugs (43, 43') are manufactured with a temporary shape (430, 430') and, during assembly, the pressure plate is positioned at an axial distance from the cover corresponding to the storage position. The lugs (43, 43') are then plastically deformed to their final shape.
