A wet multi-plate clutch includes a plate carrier with a pair of fluid passage openings and a friction plate rotationally fixed and axially displaceable relative to the plate carrier. The friction plate has a carrier element and a pair friction pads fastened to the carrier element and delimiting a groove. The groove includes a groove geometrical center line. The groove geometrical center line may extend radially through a one of the pair of fluid passage openings, or it may extend radially between the pair of fluid passage openings. If the groove geometrical center line extend radially between the pair of fluid passage openings, one of the pair of friction pads may include a pad geometrical center line extending along a radial extent through a one of the pair of fluid passage openings.
A wet multi-plate clutch, comprising clutch plates connected to a plate carrier for conjoint rotation while being displaceable in an axial direction, the plate carrier having fluid passage openings, wherein at least one of the clutch plates, or each of the clutch plates, is designed as a friction plate with a groove delimited by friction pads, wherein:
