ABSTRACT:
A hydraulically-operated clutch assembly is disclosed having an improved lubrication arrangement therefor. The assembly includes a shaft-mounted drum-like clutch carrier, and an adjacent transmission gear. The assembly further includes a plurality of clutch friction plates mounted on and operatively connected to the gear, and a plurality of clutch separator plates arranged in an alternating array with the friction plates, with the separator plates coupled for rotation with the clutch carrier. The lubrication arrangement includes means for supplying pressurized lubricant to the interface between the clutch friction plates and the associated gear, and means for inhibiting lubricant flow out of the assembly whereby the service life thereof is significantly enhanced.
