A torque transfer mechanism includes an input member to receive an input torque from a propulsion source and an output member coupled to the input member to transfer the input torque to a driveline component. The torque transfer mechanism also includes a damping mechanism disposed between the input member and the output member having at least one clockspring coiled about a center axis of rotation to couple the input member to the output member. The at least one clockspring is arranged to damp vibration associated with the input torque and is coiled in multiple planes such that the clockspring does not contact itself under torsional deflection.
