  • Publication number: 20240019023
    Abstract: In a catch tank, a partition wall is formed that extends along a vehicle front-rear direction and divides the catch tank in a vehicle width direction in a vehicle-mounted state, which helps prevent oil in the catch tank from flowing unevenly to one of a first space and a second space even when the oil surface of the oil tilts during turn of the vehicle, for example. As a result, an appropriate amount of oil required for lubrication is supplied through a second lubrication hole regardless of tilt of the vehicle or turn of the vehicle.
