an improved lubrication system for a ball ramp master clutch and a gear change transmission is disclosed where a lubricant pump is driven by the input shaft to a ball ramp mechanism which , when energized , applies a clamping force on a clutch pack where lubricant is supplied to the pump from a wet sump on the transmission and then lubricant is forced into the clutch assembly and also forced into the gear shaft transmission for eventual return into the sump for recirculation . in an alternate embodiment , a dry sump system is used where the oil flowing out of the transmission is pumped to dry sump where it is then recirculated to the pump .
