Abstract: A vehicle driveline component having a housing, a shaft received in the housing, a lubricant pathway coupled to the shaft for rotation therewith, a sleeve disposed coaxially about the lubricant pathway, and a fluid feed conduit coupled to the component housing. The lubricant pathway is disposed helically about an exterior surface of the shaft. The sleeve has a feed port. The fluid feed conduit having an outlet that is in fluid communication with the feed port. Lubricant in the lubricant pathway that has been discharged from the outlet of the fluid feed conduit travels in a predetermined axial direction along the rotary axis of the shaft when the shaft rotates about the rotary axis in a predetermined rotational direction.

Abstract: A driveline component that includes a shaft, a friction clutch, a lubricant passage and an oil distributor sleeve. The friction clutch includes a hub with a hub portion and a plate mount. The oil distributor sleeve is received on the plate mount so that a lubricant chamber is disposed radially between the oil distributor sleeve and the hub portion. The lubricant passage is disposed between the shaft and the lubricant chamber and has a passage outlet that intersects the lubricant chamber. The oil distribution sleeve receives lubrication discharged from the passage outlet and directs the received lubrication to apertures formed through the plate mount.

Abstract: A driveline power transmitting component having a power transfer assembly disposed in a housing. The housing defines a vent aperture and a sump. A lubricating fluid is disposed in the sump and portions of the power transfer assembly travel through the lubricating fluid so that a lubrication surge zone and a splash lubrication zone are formed. The vent aperture is disposed in at least one of the surge zone, the splash lubrication zone and the sump when the driveline power transmitting component is disposed in at least one orientation in a predetermined range of operating positions in which the driveline power transmitting component can be operated. A breather relocation conduit is employed to permit air to be vented from the housing to the vent aperture without intaking lubricating fluid into the breather relocation conduit.
