Abstract

See full text

A power transmission device constructed in accordance to one example of the present teachings includes a torque transfer device and a differential. The torque transfer device includes a housing. The torque transfer device selectively communicates rotatable motion from an input member to an output member. A frictional clutch is disposed in the housing that actuates to selectively transfer torque between the input member and the output member. A first and a second axle shaft selectively drives a first and a second drive wheel, respectively. The differential selectively transfers drive torque from the output member to at least one of the first and second axle shafts. A fluid distribution system distributes a common fluid for actuating the frictional clutch and for lubricating select components of the differential.
