Abstract
With regard to an automatic transmission in which an oil passage is formed by interposing a separator plate between a torque converter case and a valve body, a housing of a bearing that supports a counter shaft is press-fitted in a recess of the torque converter case, the edge of the separator plate abuts the outer periphery of the housing, and a notch formed on the valve body superimposed on the separator plate is in contact with the end face of the housing, thereby preventing the bearing from falling out. When supporting the bearing in the recess of the torque converter case, the present invention enables the bearing having a large axial dimension to be supported without deepening the above-mentioned recess.
