The invention provides a baffle arrangement for increasing the return flow pressure for clutch fluid in a fluid friction clutch of the type having a rotatable driving disk disposed to rotate in a work space of a relatively rotatable housing. The work space is separated by an intermediate disk fixed to the housing and clutch fluid return bore means are provided at the periphery of the intermediate disk. In order to prevent wearing of the baffle member and also to accommodate fixation of the baffle member in a minimum thickness clutch construction, the baffle member is supported at the intermediate disk in an oblong hole adjacent to the circumference thereof. The baffle member is guided for movement between respective circumferential end positions in the oblong hole, is axially fixed by a retaining washer or the like to the intermediate disk, and is guided so as to be radially immovable.
