In order to avoid competition with other components for a space, to thereby improve the degree of designing freedom, the power transmission apparatus includes a transfer case housing and supporting a ring gear and a pinion gear that orthogonally mesh with each other and form an orthogonal gear set, the transfer case is divided into a first case part and a second case part along a division plane that extends along an axis of rotation of the ring gear, and the first and second case parts and are fixed together along the division plane with bolts.

Power transmission apparatus

Oil is enclosed in a casing. A power transmitting section and an electromagnetic clutch are contained in the casing. The electromagnetic clutch has an electromagnet fixed to the casing. An oil sump is formed adjacent to the electromagnetic clutch. An oil gutter collects the splashed oil splashed by centrifugal force from the power transmitting section and the electromagnetic clutch and directs the collected oil into the oil sump. The power transmitting section has an oil path for introducing the oil from the oil sump, directing the oil to an area in the vicinity of the electromagnetic clutch, and supplying the oil to the electromagnetic clutch by means of the centrifugal force.
