Abstract
The present invention concerns an automatic transaxle wherein connecting passages between an oil pan and a final gear chamber are arranged at a higher level, being formed in the bottom portion of a transmission chamber wall above the oil pan. The transmission chamber also communicates with the final gear chamber. Oil flows between the final gear chamber and oil pan only through the connecting passages so that the oil level in the oil pan will not drop below the level of an oil intake port.
