Abstract
In order to securely lubricate a final drive unit of a transaxle including a torque converter and a hydraulically controlled transmission, the line pressure regulator valve of the hydraulic control system is arranged to discharge surplus hydraulic fluid via first and second drain ports into a conduit arrangement which fluidly communicates with both of the torque converter and the final drive unit. The conduit arrangement is arranged to relieve any excess fluid fed thereto from the first drain port toward the final drive unit in addition to that fed thereto from said second drain port.
