Abstract

An intermediate disk for a motor vehicle clutch with friction surfaces on both sides includes two disk parts. On the sides of the disk parts remote of the friction surfaces, the disk parts have spacers which laterally define recesses between the disk parts. This arrangement of the intermediate disk provides a large heat-releasing surface even when the intermediate disk has small dimensions.
