Abstract
The present invention provides methods and systems for a clutch hub that includes a plate with a top surface and a bottom surface that extends outwardly to an outer edge. An annular ring portion with an exterior surface extends upward from the top surface of the plate at a distance from the outer edge and forming an outer flange between the exterior surface and the outer edge. A plurality of splines disposed on the exterior surface of the annular ring portion.
