Abstract
An apparatus includes an input-side rotating memberdriven by an engine (driving source), an output-side rotating memberfor driving an input member, such as a gear partof a rear differential (driving-force distributing mechanism)between wheels, a friction clutcharranged between the input-side rotating memberand the output-side rotating member, a carrier housing (stationary member)capable of accommodating the rear differentialand the friction clutch, an oil accommodating space (lubricant accommodating space) S formed in the stationary memberand an oil pumpdriven by the output-side rotating memberto supply the friction clutchwith oil
