Abstract

A process for connecting a flywheel with a clutch housing, including the following steps: PA1 a) providing the flywheel with a connection portion, PA1 b) providing the housing with a substantially cylindrical counter-connection portion, and PA1 c) sliding the housing on the connection portion by its counter-connection portion in a sliding direction substantially parallel to an axis of rotation for producing a press connection between the flywheel and housing. Step a) includes making the flywheel available with an insertion area which widens radially in the slide-on direction with respect to the axis of rotation and with a taper area following the insertion area that narrows in diameter in the slide-on direction. Step b) includes making the housing available with an inner dimension in the counter-connection portion, which inner dimension is smaller than an outer dimension of the flywheel in the area of a transition from the insertion area to the taper area.
