Abstract
A driveline component that includes a shaft, a friction clutch, a lubricant passage and an oil distributor sleeve. The friction clutch includes a hub with a hub portion and a plate mount. The oil distributor sleeve is received on the plate mount so that a lubricant chamber is disposed radially between the oil distributor sleeve and the hub portion. The lubricant passage is disposed between the shaft and the lubricant chamber and has a passage outlet that intersects the lubricant chamber. The oil distribution sleeve receives lubrication discharged from the passage outlet and directs the received lubrication to apertures formed through the plate mount.
