Abstract
A clutch device includes a substantially annular input plate connected to a converter cover, a substantially annular output plate connected to a turbine hub so that the output plate is brought into contact with the input plate when the clutch device is engaged. The output plate has an inner toothed portion formed on its inner peripheral portion. A substantially cylindrical flanged portion is attached to the turbine hub serving as an output member. The substantially cylindrical flanged portion has an outer toothed portion formed on its outer peripheral portion and being in meshed-engagement with the inner toothed portion to allow axial sliding motion of the output plate relative to the substantially cylindrical flanged portion and to prevent relative rotation of the output plate to the substantially cylindrical flanged portion. A lubrication hole is formed in a bottom between two adjacent teeth of the outer toothed portion of the substantially cylindrical flanged portion. The lubrication hole is formed as a slotted hole that elongates in a direction of a tooth trace of the outer toothed portion.
