[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 31637, member: 2708"] Oh, its for the friction plates too, in fact the oil clutch was developed to cure the problems with glazed/overheated linings on dry clutches. The oil acts as coolant. Providing lubrication for the lateral sliding of the plates on the splined hub is a secondary benefit. Ask an old cat skinner about dry clutch Cats vs wet, both in the steering clutches and the main. The upgrade to a wet clutch gave a clutch that could be slipped or engaged under exteme load and not burn up the friction plates. Here Im referring to a large Caterpillar like a D8 or D 9 breaking out an old growth fir stump. First Cat switched the main clutch over to oil then later models came with everything running in oil. Other manufacturers such as IH or Allis Challmers eventually did the same. In the world of heavy equipment, the dry clutch was obsolete very early on and it was all about the friction plates.
