Abstract

A disengagement mechanism for a friction clutch which is to be arranged between an internal combustion engine and a transmission flanged to the internal combustion engine by a casing includes a guide pipe fastenable in the casing. A release bearing element is guided radially at the outer circumference of the guide pipe so as to be axially movable thereon. The disengagement mechanism also includes a clutch lever which is to be articulated at the casing for transmitting clutch actuating forces to the release bearing element. At least the guide pipe, the release bearing, and the clutch lever are held together to form a constructional unit prior to their arrangement between the internal combustion engine and the transmission by movement limiting device, thereby facilitating the assembly of the disengagement mechanism. In the operation-ready, installed state, the movement limiting devices influences the movability of the disengagement mechanism.
