Abstract
A clutch sleeve assembly for an automotive clutch system includes a polymer sleeve having a snap ring groove and a metal bushing disposed within the polymer sleeve having a flange that acts as a reinforcement for the snap ring groove. There are two configurations of the snap ring groove on the polymer sleeve. In the first configuration, the polymer sleeve has a notch around an outer circumference along its edge adjacent the bushing flange. In this configuration, the bushing flange extends beyond the polymer sleeve edge to form a snap ring groove in conjunction with the notch. In the second configuration, the polymer sleeve has a snap ring groove around its outer circumference spaced apart from its edge that is adjacent the bushing flange.
