Casing structure of vehicular power transmitting device

A casing structure of a vehicular power transmitting device, comprising:

• a casing;
• a breather plug through which an inside space within the casing is open to an outside atmosphere outside the casing;
• and
• a stationary removal preventive member for preventing removal of the breather plug from the casing,
• wherein the breather plug includes an attaching portion fitted in a communication hole which is formed through the casing, for communication between the inside space and the outside atmosphere, and a body portion located on an upper side of the communication hole and held in communication with the outside atmosphere when the attaching portion is attached in the communication hole, the body portion of the breather plug including an abutting section which overlaps the removal preventive member in a direction toward the outside atmosphere such that the abutting section abuts on the removal preventive member when the attaching portion of the breather plug is moved relative to the communication hole in the direction toward the outside atmosphere,
• and wherein the removal preventive member is spaced apart from the abutting section of the body portion of the breather plug, and a distance between the removal preventive member and the abutting section is shorter than a dimension of the attaching portion in the direction toward the outside atmosphere such that the breather plug is kept in communication with the communication hole when the abutting section of the body portion comes into abutting contact with the removal preventive member.
