A hydraulic transmission is described having an input shaft connected to a flywheel of an engine through a rotary container of a centrifugal oil filter and a shock absorber for absorbing torque fluctuation between the flywheel and transmission. The centrifugal oil filter and shock absorber comprises: a rotary filter container having spaced outer walls joined at their outer circumference by a flange to form a liquid tight chamber between side walls, at least one of the outer walls of the centrifugal oil filter rotary container being splined to the input shaft of the hydraulic transmission. The flange has apertures, equally spaced circumferentially around the flange. A pair of thrust plates extend circumferentially around the flange and extend radially outward therefrom. The thrust plates are mounted at their radially outer ends to the flywheel for rotation therewith and at their radially inner ends are axially spaced from each other.
