Abstract
A lubricating device lubricates various parts of a power transfer system for a vehicle. The lubricating device comprises a gear interconnected with an output shaft and splashes lubricating oil in an oil chamber. The splashed oil is received by a cover member and supplied to a passage for supplying the lubricating oil to a bushing for rotatably supporting an output shaft of the power transfer system. Therefore, even if the direction to which lubricating oil is splashed by the gear is changed according to an operating condition of the vehicle, the cover member securely receives the splashed oil and supplies it to the passage for the bushing.
