The shroud () includes: an oil supply nozzle () configured to supply oil (OL) to a meshing position () of the gear train (); and oil-drain ports () through which the oil (OL) is discharged from the shroud. The housing () includes, at its lower part, a draw-out port () through which the oil (OL) discharged from the oil-drain ports () is drawn to the outside of the housing. Guide members () are provided between the shroud () and the housing (). The guide members () guide the oil (OL) discharged from the respective oil-drain ports () of the shroud () such that the oil (OL) flows downward through space (S) between the shroud () and the housing ().
