A clutch system configured to transmit torque between an input shaft and an output shaft. The clutch system may include a clutch and a lubrication supply system. The clutch may include: an input portion disposed at an end of the input shaft; an output portion disposed at an end of the output shaft; and a sliding component that slides axially between the input and output portions to engage the clutch. The lubrication supply system may include: one or more lubricant feeds for delivering a lubricant to the clutch; and one or more lubricant drains for draining the lubricant from the clutch. The one or more lubricant feeds may include one or more respective valves. The one or more valves each may be configurable between settings that vary an amount of the lubricant delivered to the clutch via the respective one of the one or more lubricant feeds.

A clutch may include a hub configured to be constrained to a rotation shaft; a sleeve configured to be straight slidably disposed on an external circumferential surface of the hub; a clutch gear configured to be disposed to be relatively rotatable with respect to the rotation shaft; a first friction ring configured to be mounted between the clutch gear and the hub; a key configured to be mounted between the sleeve and the hub; and a displacement changing portion configured to change a relative rotation displacement of the first friction ring with respect to the hub to an axial linear displacement of the first friction ring.

A synchronizer of a transmission may include bottom key disposed on a hub to be slidable in a radial direction of the hub; a top key disposed radially outside the bottom key to be slidable in an axial direction of the hub; a sleeve disposed outside the hub and sliding in the axial direction to slide the top key in the axial direction to press a synchro-ring; a key spring disposed between the bottom key and the hub to press the bottom key and the top key toward an internal side of the sleeve; and a motion converting portion converting relative motion generated in a circumferential direction of the hub between the top key and the bottom key into axial relative motion of the top key to the bottom key toward the synchro-ring.

A clutch structure of a transmission includes: a hub secured to a rotating shaft, a sleeve mounted on the hub so as to slide linearly, a clutch gear to rotate relative to the rotating shaft and integrally formed with a clutch cone, a first friction ring provided between the clutch gear and the hub to be pressed toward the clutch gear, a second friction ring having an inner surface to contact an outer surface of the clutch cone, and a middle cone having an inner surface to contact an outer surface of the second friction ring and an outer surface to contact an inner surface of the first friction ring. Each of the second friction ring and the middle cone is provided with a friction member on at least one of an inner diameter portion and an outer diameter portion each of the second friction ring and the middle cone.
