A second clutch piston formed of a plurality of members including a
cylindrical cylinder member, a disc-shaped bottom plate member that fits
in one end portion of that cylinder member, and a snap ring, has a
plurality of long positioning protrusions provided on an inner peripheral
surface of the cylinder member. By abutting the disc-shaped bottom plate
member against end surfaces of these positioning protrusions, the bottom
plate member can be fit into the one end portion of the cylinder member
without having to provide notches therein, which enables durability
against a pulling force generated in the cylinder member when the
friction apply device is applied to be maintained.
