Abstract
An impeller lubrication system provides lubrication oil flow to a transmission pocket bearing. Splash and spray lubrication oil is directed from the transmission casing to a collector region along a shaft adjacent the pocket bearing. As the shaft rotates, oil is forced axially along the shaft by an impeller fixed to the shaft. The impeller forces the oil from the collector region to the pocket bearing through a lubrication port in the shaft.
