1. A power transfer mechanism (1) comprising:
a body (2) on a vehicle;
an engine (E) in the body (2) which enables the vehicle to move;
a shaft (3) on the body (2) which is activated by the engine (E);
a housing (4) containing the shaft (3);
at least one bearing group (5) between the housing (4) wall and the shaft (3) which supports movement of the shaft (3);
a sponge (6) located inside the housing (4) for absorbing and storing a fluid;
a trigger (7) that triggers and compresses the sponge (6) so that the fluid stored in the sponge (6) reaches the bearing group (5) by the effect of gravity and thereby allowing the bearing group (5) to be cooled and lubricated; and
a shaft wall (401) located in the housing (4) and surrounding the shaft (3) and a housing wall (402) containing the bearing group (5) and located on the housing (4) in connection with the shaft wall (401); wherein the sponge (6) is located between the shaft wall (401) and the housing wall (402), in an area between the shaft wall (401) and the housing wall (402), so as to contact the shaft wall (401) and housing wall (402) when compressed.
