Abstract
A housing,for a vehicular transmission comprises a first room R,which accommodates a continuous speed change mechanism and a second room R,which accommodates a driving force transmission mechanism including a starting mechanism, a reduction train, a differential mechanism, a power supply mechanism for an oil pump, etc. In each room, inlet openings,through,for oil discharge passages are provided near and above both the sides of an oil pan,in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the input and output shafts of the continuous speed change mechanism, to return lubrication oil to the oil pan,Also, walls,through,are provided in the rooms to lead the lubrication oil into the respective inlet openings. In this construction, the lubrication oil returning from each room to the oil pan,is stabilized at each room and discharged to the oil pan,and thereby the lubrication oil achieves homogeneity in the oil pan
