Drive force transfer device

A clutch device includes a case, a clutch housing, a multi-disc clutch, and a rolling bearing. The clutch housing is housed in the case. The clutch housing includes a cylindrical portion including a housing space defined in the cylindrical portion, and a wall extending radially inward from an end of the cylindrical portion. The multi-disc clutch is housed in the housing space and includes a plurality of clutch plates. The rolling bearing includes an inner ring, an outer ring, and a plurality of rolling elements disposed between the inner and outer rings. The inner ring of the rolling bearing is attached to an inner ring attachment portion of the case. The outer ring of the rolling bearing is attached to an outer ring attachment portion of the wall of the clutch housing. The rolling bearing supports the clutch housing such that the clutch housing is rotatable relative to the case.
