Abstract:
PURPOSE: To start a vehicle immediately after starting an engine.
CONSTITUTION: An inlet 22b and an outlet 22c of an oil discharge opening 22a are formed at a circumferential position of a flywheel 22 which is different by 180 degrees, and the inlet 22b and the outlet 22c are communicated with each other in an oil guide passage 22d formed into a tunnel shape inside the flywheel 22. It is thus possible to always ensure lubricating oil of at least 50% in a torque converter without a total amount of lubricating oil in the torque converter 25 being discharged to an oil pan 40 from the torque converter, even if a vehicle is kept in a stopping condition for a long time.
