Abstract

An output gear of a power transmission is drivably connected through an idler gear to an input gear of a final drive unit having a differential. The idler gear is mounted through a pair of tapered roller bearings on a sleeve shaft which is supported by opposite two walls between which the idler gear is located. An end portion of the sleeve shaft is adjustably received within a recess formed at the inner surface of one of the walls in a manner that a bolt securing the sleeve shaft is screwed into a boss formed in the recess of the wall.
