    Abstract: A baffle plate including a body portion, a cover portion and a seal member, a final gear and a driven sprocket disposed in an accommodating chamber of the baffle plate, an oil pump serving as a source of oil for lubrication, and an oil pan are provided. At least one of the body portion, the cover portions and the seal members includes a material that shrinks as the temperature of the oil decreases. The baffle plate is dimensioned such that a gap is sealed by the seal member when the temperature of the oil is equal to or higher than a predetermined oil temperature and an aperture is formed when the temperature of the oil is less than the predetermined oil temperature. The gap is the gap between an inner circumference of an outer wall portion of the body portion and each of a base portion of the cover portion and a base portion of the cover portion.
