An engine start control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle includes: an engine start control section configured to crank the engine by using the motor as a starter motor while the hydraulic clutch is slip-engaged when the discharge pressure from the oil pump is ensured by driving the motor, when the engine is started after an ignition switch is switched to an ON state, the engine start control section being configured to drive the oil pump by the motor at a no load during a predetermined time period after the engine is stopped when the ignition switch is in an OFF state.

Engine start control apparatus for hybrid vehicle

An oil strainer includes a body which has lower and upper walls and an inside space between the lower and upper walls, a filter substantially horizontally disposed within the body so as to divide the inside space into lower and upper space sections, an outlet port provided on the upper wall of the body and communicated with the upper space section, and an inlet port provided on the lower wall of the body and communicated with the lower space section. The lower wall includes a first area in which an inlet port periphery of the inlet port is disposed, and a second area separate from the first area. A vertical distance between the filter and the lower wall in the first area is smaller than a vertical distance between the filter and the lower wall in the second area.

Oil strainer for automatic transmission

In a vane pump disposed inside a transmission case of a continuously variable transmission, a pump case (), a pump drive shaft () rotatably supported by a shaft bore () of the pump case () to rotate a rotor (), and a drain port (), one end thereof being opened to a shaft bore () of the pump drive shaft () and the other end being opened to an outside of the pump case () are provided. A leaked oil flown via the drain port () from a pump discharge side is discharged to an outside of the pump case ().
