  • Patent number: 9086133
    Abstract: A lubricating structure of a transmission is capable of supplying more lubricating oil to the vicinity of one end portion of a shaft, which rotates in a transmission, than lubricating oil supplied to the remaining mechanisms of the transmission. An internal space of the shaft rotating in the transmission has a pipe inserted thereto with a gap provided therebetween, a large-diameter portion having two shaft lubrication holes, a stepped portion, and a small-diameter portion having a shaft lubrication hole. The pipe has a first pipe lubrication hole in communication with the gap and a second pipe lubrication hole in communication with the small-diameter portion.

  • Patent number: 9050883
    Abstract: A clutch for a transmission is provided in which a transmission case includes a first wall portion and a second wall portion that define a clutch housing chamber for housing a clutch outer, a clutch inner, a friction member, and an extension portion of a first gear shaft that extends from a shaft end portion of a second gear shaft, the clutch outer is supported on the first wall portion via a first bearing, and the clutch inner is supported on the through hole of the second wall portion, through which the first gear shaft extends, via a second bearing, and therefore, it is possible to enhance the coaxiality of the clutch outer and the clutch inner by supporting them on the transmission case independently from the first and second gear shafts, prevent the torque transmission capacity of the clutch from decreasing, and avoid the occurrence of judder.
