Abstract
Pressures of left and right clutch pistons () applied to left and right disk portions () of a common clutch outer () of left and right clutches () distributing drive force of an input shaft () to left and right output shafts () are, finally, transmitted to and supported by a side housing () through a boss portion () of the clutch outer () and a thrust bearing (). Accordingly, the left and right clutches () can be engaged with no problem. Even when the pressures of the clutch pistons () deform the left and right disk portions () of the clutch outer (), the gap (α) formed therebetween prevents the transmission of the pressure of one of the clutches () to the other clutch (). Accordingly, the interference between the operations of the left and right clutches () is prevented.
