Abstract
A wet clutch assembly comprises an input shaft and a stack comprising interleaved first and second sets of clutch members. A hydraulic actuator piston is located concentrically around the input shaft, but is static. A member rotationally fast with one of the sets of clutch members is journalled to the actuator piston by means of a bearing whose inner race is integral with the piston.
