ABSTRACT:
A wet clutch assembly comprises a stack of clutch members enclosed into a cover. An oil inlet communicates with the interior of the cover at or near the radial center, whilst an oil outlet communicates with the interior at a point near the periphery, adjacent a shoulder in the interior peripheral surface. Oil entering the cover is propelled outwardly and around the interior peripheral surface by the rotation of the clutch members, and builds up against the shoulder creating pressure to expel the oil.
