axially slidable piston 26 is forced toward and away from the end clutch plate 20 to engage and disengage clutch pack 11 with an axial extension 27 thereof in order to engage clutch pack 11 a force exerted on piston 26 in the direction of clutch pack 11 needs to overcome a force exerted by a return spring 28 onto piston 26 return spring 28 is positioned radially inside of axial extension 27 and contacts piston 26 with a radially outer portion 30 thereof an inner radial end 32 of return spring 28 is held axially in place by a snap ring 34 which contacts return spring 28 on a side of return spring 28 opposite of a side return spring 28 that contacts piston 26 snap ring 34 includes an inner radially extending portion 36 and an outer radially extending portion 38 that are axially offset from each other by an axially extending portion 40 connecting radially extending portions 36 38 outer radially extending portion 38 is arranged axially further away from bearing 18 than inner radially extending portion 36 and contacts inner radial end 32 of return spring 28 in contrast to u s pat no 6 095 941 snap ring 34 is not machined into housing 24 instead snap ring 34 is sandwich axially between a radially extending surface 68 of an axially protruding lip 44 of housing 24 and a radially extending surface 66 of inner race 56 that aligns with a radially extending.
