A simplified and improved clutch piston, retractor system is provided for controlling the running clearance of clutch plate(s) to minimize windage loss and to improve transmission shift quality. This improved shift quality helps improve operator's comfort reduce shock loads on power transmission components, and reduce the energy input to the clutches when changing gears during the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle. The clutch piston retractor system is self adjusting to accommodate wear to the clutch disks and optimize the shift quality, while compensating for the additional travel distance. Thus, the need to periodically recalibrate the entire system is eliminated.
