A clutch assembly, constituting a component of a gear transmission, has two gear-carrying shaft extremities projecting from opposite sides of a clutch casing. One shaft extremity is provided with axially extending teeth, carried on its face or on a sleeve keyed thereto, normally engaging similar teeth on a confronting drive shaft. The other shaft extremity is mounted, by means of a combined journal and thrust bearing, in a retaining member which is detachably secured to the transmission housing and has passages for supplying pressure fluid (oil) to the clutch casing. Upon removal of the retaining member, the assembly can be axially shifted to disengage the first-mentioned shaft extremity from the drive shaft whereupon it can be laterally withdrawn from the transmission housing. |
