A vehicle drive device, comprising:
- a driving source;
- a differential device to which a driving force of the driving source is transmitted through a speed reducing mechanism;
- a clutch being provided between the speed reducing mechanism and the differential device, and configured to be rotated integrally with the differential device, and moved in a rotation axis direction to engage with or release from the speed reducing mechanism;
- and
- a contact body capable of contacting with and separating from an outer peripheral surface of the clutch,
- wherein a guide surface is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the clutch so as to intersect in a rotation direction of the clutch, and the contact body contacts the guide surface to move the clutch.
