ABSTRACT:
A transmission comprising a housing having one and the other longitudinal end walls. An input shaft is rotatably supported by a bearing in the one longitudinal end wall. A bearing retainer having therein an opening through which the input shaft extends is mounted on the outer surface of the one longitudinal end wall and cooperates with the bearing to define a chamber. A seal member is disposed between the opening and the input shaft within the chamber. An oil receiver is disposed within the housing adjacent to an input gear mounted on the input shaft and in mesh with a counter gear mounted on a counter shaft. Lubricating oil within a reservoir at the bottom of the housing is scooped up by the counter gear and is received by the receiver. The oil is introduced through a passage from the receiver into the chamber to lubricate the bearing and the seal member.
