Abstract
A motor vehicle transmission extension housing enclosing an output shaft rotatably supported by a bush at the rear end of the housing which requires lubrication is provided with an orifice for delivering a stream of lubricant under pressure from a source along a first unconfined path in the housing and against a deflecting surface in the housing which intersects the first path and deflects the stream of lubricant to flow along a second unconfined path at an angle to said first path and toward the bush.
