Abstract: A clutch assembly includes a housing defining an axis. A plurality of plates disposed within the housing are in driving engagement with the housing around the axis. The housing defines a housing wall circumscribing the axis and having a sinusoidal configuration including a wall crest and a wall trough. The wall crest and the wall trough are substantially parallel to the axis defined by the housing. The plates have teeth complimentary of the sinusoidal configuration of the housing wall for engaging the housing wall enabling the driving engagement between the housing wall and the plates.
