Clutch assembly for a manual transmission of a motor vehicle

A clutch assembly for a manual transmission of a motor vehicle, the clutch assembly comprising:

• an axially running transmission input shaft configured to be coupled to a motor output shaft by way of a clutch having a central release mechanism disposed on the axially running transmission input shaft,
• wherein the axially running transmission input shaft includes at least one ferromagnetic measuring portion,
• wherein a magnetization of the at least one ferromagnetic measuring portion is configured to be influenced in a magnetoelastic manner by a torsion of the axially running transmission input shaft,
• wherein at least a portion of the central release mechanism surrounds the at least one ferromagnetic measuring portion,
• wherein the central release mechanism is interchangeable and includes a sensor device configured to measure a variable as a function of the magnetization of the at least one ferromagnetic measuring portion, and
• wherein the central release mechanism includes a first part and a second part, the first part surrounding the axially running transmission input shaft and fixed relative to the axially running transmission input shaft, the second part surrounding the axially running transmission input shaft and displaceable in an axial direction relative to the first part from a position in which a first axial end of the first part is flush with a second axial end of the second part, the second part also including a portion that is located radially inwardly relative to an outer surface of the first part, the sensor device directly connected with an inner cylindrical surface of the first part.
