  • Patent number: 5810116
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lubrication mechanism for collecting and directing oil from a gear assembly to a bearing supporting a first component for rotation relative to a second component. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a bearing assembly is arranged to permit relative rotation between an input shaft and an output shaft in a manual transmission. A lubrication flow path including a bore and channel is formed between the bearing assembly and a gear assembly external of the input and output shafts. A lubrication guide member disposed in the flow path collects and directs oil from the gear assembly toward the bearing assembly.
