Abstract
A clutch apparatus includes a first clutch pack having a plurality of first friction disks. The first clutch pack will selectively transfer torque from a torque supplying member to a first torque receiving member. The apparatus also includes a second clutch pack having a plurality of second friction disks. The second clutch pack will selectively transfer torque from a torque supplying member to a second torque receiving member. The apparatus also includes a first rotating manifold having a first cooling inlet for directing a cooling fluid to the first clutch pack. At least a portion of the first rotating manifold is coupled for rotation with at least a portion of the first friction disks. The apparatus also includes a second rotating manifold having a second cooling inlet for directing a cooling fluid to the second clutch pack. At least a portion of the second rotating manifold is coupled for rotation with at least a portion of the second friction disks. The first rotating manifold and the second rotating manifold are interchangeable.
