Abstract
A very low spring rate vibration-damping clutch and pinion assembly for lowering the resonance of a power train to below the resonant speed of the engine includes a vibration damping clutch with two circumferential rows of springs and a necked-down pinion shaft. The vibration damper is preferably connected to both the pinion shaft and the clutch disk by spline connections.
