Abstract
In a starting clutch, an oil path for operating the clutch is provided independently of an oil path for cooling a frictional surface. That is, there is provided an oil path exclusively for cooling the frictional surface. Accordingly, a necessary amount of oil can be supplied to the frictional surface, which can thus be cooled efficiently.
