Abstract

A transmission case of an automatic transmission is formed with a fluid passage fluidly connecting a fluid pressure pump to a hydraulic control valve body for controllably operating a planetary gear system disposed in the case. The fluid passage is located adjacent a closed end of the transmission case and connected to control valve body in order to reduce the overall length of the transmission case in its axial direction.
