ABSTRACT:
A wet clutch includes a clutch carrier that encloses a stack of clutch plates and a clutch backing plate. Two sets of alternating slots are provided in the clutch carrier. One set of slots is shallower than the other set and is configured to support the clutch backing plate. The other set of slots is deeper and is configure to support many of the clutch plates. The first set of slots is shallower in order to keep the clutch backing plate from pressing against and partially binding the stack of clutch plates together.
