A rotation of an input shaft is accelerated and transmitted to a drive shaft of an oil pump through gears. The oil pump is provided with a lubricant hole and part of the lubricant discharged from a discharge side oil chamber is supplied to a first sliding face of a radial bearing through the lubricant hole. By provision of a cutout portion in an oil sump and a first rib, part of the lubricant supplied from the input shaft to a bearing through a plurality of oil passages and the oil sump is supplied to a second sliding face which rotatably supports a thrust washer.

Lubricating mechanism of oil pump

A driving control device of a vehicle including an automatic transmission with a hydraulic control device which hydraulically controls an engagement of the frictional engagement element, a mechanical oil pump which is driven by the engine and supplies hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic control device and an electric oil pump which supplies hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic control device and a motor connected to the mechanical oil pump and transmitting the driving force to the automatic transmission, wherein the electric oil pump supplies oil to the hydraulic control device at an engine automatic stopping control time at which the driving of the engine is automatically stopped after the vehicle stops and a predetermined condition is established and the motor is driven so that said mechanical oil pump supplies the oil to the hydraulic control device during the engine automatic stopping control at a time when the electric oil pump can not be driven.
