Abstract
In order to minimize an effect of centrifugal force on a release operation of a clutch piston, this invention provides a return apparatus including a spring support rotating at a same speed as the clutch piston, and a return spring abutted at an end against the spring support and exerting an elastic force on the clutch piston, the elastic force increasing as the clutch piston rotating speed increases.
