It is an object of this invention to make compact a system for controlling the distribution of a driving force and also to simplify its controlling procedure. To achieve this object, a motor 200, 2200 is designed to be electrically controlled, and the rotation of the motor is transformed to the stroke of a plunger 370, 2370 by a hydraulic pressure producing cylinder device 300. By doing this, a hydraulic pressure is produced within a hydraulic pressure chamber 376, 2376 and the hydraulic pressure thus produced is supplied to an operating cylinder 40. The operating cylinder 40 controls a gain of an engagement force of a variable torque clutch device 30. Also, it is another object of the present invention to provide a fail-safe technique for a hydraulic pressure supply device of the motor drive type. In order to achieve this second object, there is further employed a hydraulic pressure compensating device 500, 2500 for supplying, when a failure has occurred disenabling rotation of the motor 200, 2200, a predetermined hydraulic pressure to the operating cylinder 40 in response to the occurrence of the failure and maintain the hydraulic pressure to that level.
