A transfer case pump includes an oil pump, a cover assembly, and a torque transfer mechanism. The oil pump has a pump shaft, and is configured to pressurize a lubricant in response to a rotation of the pump shaft. The pump shaft rotates around a pump axis. The pump axis is parallel to a rear axis of a rear shaft. The pump axis is offset from the rear axis. The cover assembly has a channel configured to transfer the lubricant from the oil pump to the rear shaft. The cover assembly extends around the rear shaft and around the pump shaft. The torque transfer mechanism is configured to transfer a torque from the rear shaft to the pump shaft.

A transmission including an electric machine, a torque converter and a planetary gearset in a transmission housing that is connected to an engine. A turbine shaft is configured to transfer torque from the engine and the electric machine to the planetary gear set. A disconnect clutch selectively couples the input shaft from the engine to the torque converter housing of the torque converter. The disconnect clutch includes a disconnect clutch piston and a first balance dam. A torque converter clutch selectively connects the torque converter housing to the turbine and the turbine shaft. The torque converter clutch includes a torque converter clutch piston and a second balance dam. Ports in the housing permit automatic transmission fluid to flow between the turbine shaft and the torque converter clutch piston; the turbine shaft and the torque converter clutch piston; and the turbine shaft, the first balance dam, and the second balance dam.

A pumpless lubrication system for a power transfer assembly equipped with a hypoid gearset having a ring gear and a hollow pinion unit. Lubricant splashed from one of the ring gear and the pinion unit is collected in a collection reservoir and directed through a conduit unit into the hollow pinion unit. The lubricant is delivered to a torque transfer coupling for lubricating and cooling a multi-plate clutch pack.

An automatic transmission includes: a multi-disc brake including first and second friction engagement elements which are alternately arranged in an axial direction, and a tube that supplies lubricating oil to the first friction engagement element and the second friction engagement element in a transmission case. Further, the tube has injection holes that inject the lubricating oil toward a spline groove, which is fitted with spline teeth of the first friction engagement element on an inner peripheral surface of the transmission case, and the injection holes open toward a gap, which is formed between the spline groove and the spline teeth, and inject the lubricating oil to cause the lubricating oil to contact a surface of the spline groove located above the spline teeth.

An automatic transmission is provided, which includes a transmission case having a vertical wall part, a clutch disposed on a first side of the vertical wall part in an axial direction, a given component disposed on the second side of the vertical wall part, and a sleeve having a cylindrical body and a flange part coupled to the second side of the vertical wall part and disposed radially inward of the given component. The hydraulic fluid is supplied to the clutch from radially inward of the clutch through the vertical wall part. An oil supply passage is configured to supply the hydraulic fluid to the radially inward of the clutch through a first oil passage extending in the axial direction via a coupling part between the vertical wall part and the flange part, a second oil passage inside the flange part, and a third oil passage inside the cylindrical body.

Lubricant consumer system comprising at least one lubricant consumer, at least one rotating component, wherein fluid lubricant can be conveyed via the rotating component, and a lubricant distributor system, wherein the lubricant distributor system has at least two lubricant tanks, namely a first lubricant tank and at least one second lubricant tank, and a lubricant channel, wherein the two lubricant tanks are fluidically connected to one another and to the lubricant consumer via the lubricant channel, wherein one of the two lubricant tanks is designed and arranged in such a way that, in a horizontal position of the lubricant consumer system, it receives the fluid lubricant of the rotating component and supplies both the other lubricant tank and the lubricant consumer with lubricant via the lubricant channel, and wherein the other lubricant tank is designed and arranged in such a way that, in an inclined position of the lubricant consumer unit, the lubricant consumer is supplied with lubricant from at least the other lubricant tank.

A drive device and a motor vehicle, having at least one drive machine and at least one gearbox. The drive device has at least one cooling system, which is designed to apply a cooling medium to the at least one drive machine and to the at least one gearbox, at least in regions. The disclosure further relates to a motor vehicle having a drive device.

A straddle vehicle includes: a prime mover; a hydraulically actuated main clutch; an oil control valve unit; a power unit case accommodating at least the main clutch; an oil pan mounted beneath the power unit case; a clutch-dedicated pump; a primary filter disposed in an oil passage between the oil pan and the clutch-dedicated pump; and a secondary filter disposed in an oil passage between the clutch-dedicated pump and the oil control valve unit. The primary filter and the secondary filter are mounted on a bottom surface of the power unit case and covered from below by the oil pan.

A transfer gearbox device, comprising a differential gear with a crown wheel in a first oil chamber, and a friction clutch in a second oil chamber. The first oil chamber comprises a first oil sump and the second oil chamber comprises a second oil sump. A valve is between the first oil chamber and the second oil chamber. When the valve is open, oil can pass via the valve out of the first oil chamber into the second oil chamber. When the valve is closed, oil cannot pass via the valve out of the first oil chamber. When the valve is open, by rotating the crown wheel, oil is conveyed by the crown wheel from the first oil sump into a first oil collector and is guided therefrom via a first oil guide and via the valve to the friction clutch cool and/or to lubricate the friction clutch.

An automatic transmission with a brake is provided, the brake including a hub member coupled to a transmission case. The hub member includes a first hub member having a cylindrical part spline-engaged with friction plates and the transmission case, and forming a disengagement hydraulic chamber, a second hub member disposed at one side of the first hub member in the axial direction, fitted into the transmission case, and coupled to the one side of the first hub member in the axial direction by a first coupling member, and a third hub member disposed at the other side of the first hub member in the axial direction, coupled to the other side of the first hub member in the axial direction by a second coupling member, and forming an engagement hydraulic chamber. The first coupling member and the second coupling member are disposed radially inward of the disengagement hydraulic chamber.
