Transfer Clutch (Multi-Plate Clutch)
The transfer unit consists of a hydraulic multi-plate clutch and a transfer hydraulic control system incorporating a transfer duty solenoid, rear drive shaft, etc.
The transmission control unit has duty ratios memorized in advance according to running conditions. In order to obtain the optimum transfer torque for the running condition, the oil pressure that is applied to the drive plates and driven plates is controlled by applying oil pressure to the transfer piston from the transfer oil pressure control device including the duty solenoid.
Also, the transfer clutch drum and rear drive shaft are joined to each other by welding. The rear drive shaft has drilled oil passages for transfer clutch control and also for lubrication of extension bushing and ball bearing in it.
