    摘要: A one-way clutch is provided. The one-way clutch may include an inner race and an outer race that may be provided with a pocket defining a leading edge and a trailing edge that may define a fluid passage. The one-way clutch may also include a rocker. The rocker may be disposed between the inner and outer races and include first and second ends. The first end may define first cross-sectional area and the second end, and the leading edge may define a second cross-sectional area that is less than the first.

    摘要: A baffle for a transmission of a vehicle is provided. The transmission includes a gearbox that outputs torque to a differential, which distributes the torque to the wheels. A chain transfers the torque from the transmission to the differential. A baffle is provided adjacent to, but spaced from, the chain to contain and direct at least some of the lubricating fluid that the chain comes in contact with. The baffle has a base with a planar side surface. A flange extends from the base, and extends radially about part of the transmission output and the differential input to follow the path of the chain. One end of the flange is provided with an opening to direct fluid through the opening, out of the baffle and into other regions of the transmission such as the transmission sump. This inhibits buildup of fluid in the sump of the baffle.
