A wet clutch is a clutch in a fluid setting. Wet clutches are typical in vehicle transmissions, for example. In this disclosure, a chemically-attached (chemisorbed) friction modifier on wet friction material surfaces provides improved performance in general with less dependence on the external parameters such as temperature and pressure. In one embodiment, the chemically-attached friction modifier is trichloro octadecyl silane (TODS).
