Driveline component having rotatable shaft with centrifugal valve mounted thereto

A driveline component comprising:

• a first shaft that is rotatable about a first axis, the first shaft having a supply passage and a feed passage that intersects the supply passage;
• a clutch having a clutch hub, a clutch basket and a clutch pack, the clutch hub being coupled to the first shaft for rotation therewith, the clutch pack having a plurality of first clutch plates, which are coupled to the clutch hub for rotation therewith, and a plurality of second clutch plates that are interleaved with the first clutch plates and coupled to the clutch basket for rotation therewith;
• and
• a centrifugal valve having a valve seat, a valve element and a flyweight, the valve seat being formed on an exterior circumferential surface of the first shaft and intersecting the feed passage, the valve element being received in the valve seat and movable between a first position, in which the valve element is abutted against the valve seat, and a second position in which the valve element is displaced from the valve seat, the flyweight being pivotally coupled to the first shaft and having a weight portion and a cam portion, the cam portion being configured so that rotation of the weight portion outwardly away from the first shaft in response to centrifugal force causes the cam portion to drive the valve element toward the first position.
