Disclosed herein is a lubrication mechanism in a parallel dual-shaft type gear transmission which includes intermediate plate arranged between a transmission case and an extension housing and an output shaft and a counter shaft arranged in parallel relation in the transmission case. The lubrication mechanism comprises an oil guiding rib formed along an outer circumference of a small diametrical counter gear arranged in the vicinity of the intermediate plate. With this arrangement, a lubricating oil may be sufficiently supplied to desired areas in the gear transmission by means of a small diametrical counter gear.
