A start clutch device transmits rotational power of an engine to a side of a transmission via a damper through a clutch inside a housing. The start clutch device includes a transmission input shaft, an output hub and a fixed hub unit. The transmission input shaft is connected to the transmission, and the output hub surrounds the transmission input shaft inside the housing such that rotation relative to the transmission input shaft is restrained. The output hub is coupled with the damper such that the output hub transmits the rotational power to the transmission input shaft. A fluid passes through the fixed hub unit, in which one end portion divides a space between an inner circumference of the housing and an outer circumference of the transmission input shaft, thereby defining a flow path, and the other end portion supports the output hub in the axial direction.
