Abstract
In a power transfer device including a housing, an input shaft rotatably mounted within the housing, an output shaft rotatably mounted within the housing and arranged coaxially with the input shaft for relative rotation thereto, a planetary gear unit arranged within the housing and having an input element mounted on the input shaft for rotation therewith and an output element connectable to the output shaft, and a clutch sleeve axially slidably mounted on the output shaft and shiftable between a first position in which it is retained to effect a drive connection between the input and output shafts and a second position in which it is retained to effect a drive connection between the output element of the gear unit and the output shaft, an oil pump assembly is arranged in parallel with the input shaft and mounted on an internal wall of the housing to be driven by the output element of the gear unit to pump up lubricating oil stored within the housing and supply it into an axial bore in the input shaft through an oil passage formed in a peripheral wall of the housing.
