✦ Synopsis

The delamination mechanism of a wet clutch in an automatic transmission has not been discussed in detail. In order to investigate this mechanism, two deterioration tests were run. One was applying mechanical stroking and shear torque to a wet clutch. The other was immersing cotton thread in various #uids. There was a di!erence in the tendency of the strength change in these two tests. Consequently, it was found that mechanical conditions, in particular `shear torquea, in#uenced the deterioration mechanism.
