In a lubricating device, as a clutch engagement pressure increases, the degree of opening of a flow rate adjusting valve is mechanically increased. Thus, as the clutch engagement pressure increases, the flow rate of an oil sucked from an oil pan to a suction portion of a jet pump is increased. Therefore, as the clutch engagement pressure increases, the flow rate of the oil ejected from an ejection portion of the jet pump is increased. That is, as the clutch engagement pressure increases, the flow rate of the oil for lubricating a lubrication portion of a friction clutch is increased. Accordingly, even if a torque/oil flow rate conversion mechanism, for example, a torque sensor is not used, the flow rate of the oil ejected from the jet pump can be changed only by a flow rate adjusting valve.
