A ball dump valve for a rotary clutch assembly has a valve housing with a shoulder which abuts a wall surface on the housing of the clutch assembly. A displaceable component or finger is swaged to abut another wall on the clutch assembly housing to thereby securely fasten the valve housing in the clutch assembly. The interior of the valve housing has a chamber in which is disposed a ball. The chamber has a frusto-conical surface with an opening therein. The ball is seated by pressure against the frusto-conical surface to close the valve and is urged along the frusto-conical surface by centrifugal force to open the valve.
