Abstract
A clutch mechanism includes a first frictional engagement element that rotates integrally with a first rotary member, and a second frictional engagement element that rotates integrally with a second rotary member. A brake mechanism includes a third frictional engagement element that rotates integrally with a target rotary member that is one of the rotary members, and a fourth frictional engagement element fixed to a non-rotary member. A pressing mechanism includes a pressing part disposed between, in an axial direction, the frictional engagement elements and the frictional engagement elements, a driven part coupled to the pressing part so as to interlock therewith, and a linear motion mechanism that moves the driven part in the axial direction. The clutch mechanism and the brake mechanism are selectively engaged in accordance with whether the driven part is moved to an axial first side or to an axial second side by the linear motion mechanism.
