Power Flow

Power Flow on Transmission 1, 1st Gear







By tracing the flow of power in 1st gear, for example, it can be seen that the engine power is transmitted to the disc pack of the first clutch (1) by means of the pot-shaped outer disc carrier (2). From there, the power passes via the associated, likewise pot-shaped inner disc carrier (3) to the drive shaft of the 1st transmission (4). The splines for the 1st gear are located on this shaft (5). Passing via the corresponding gear wheels and the synchronisation (6), the power then reaches the counter-shaft (7), and from there via the constant (8) to the output shaft. The output shaft (9) is connected via the drive flange to the cardan shaft, which drives the wheels via the rear axle differential. In the all-wheel version, the downforce is provided by the hang-on all-wheel clutch, the beveloid gear wheel set and the connecting shaft directly onto the front-axle final drive.

Power Flow on Transmission 2, 2nd Gear







By tracing the flow of power in 2nd gear, it can be seen that the engine power is transmitted to the disc pack of the second clutch (1) by means of the pot-shaped outer disc carrier (2). From there, the power passes via the associated, likewise pot-shaped inner disc carrier (3) to the hollow drive shaft of the 2nd transmission (4). The splines for 2nd gear are located on this shaft (5). The power then reaches the countershaft (7) via the corresponding gear wheels and the synchronisation (6). The additional distribution of power takes place as for the 1st transmission via the constant (8) to the output shaft. The output shaft (9) is connected via the drive flange to the cardan shaft, which drives the wheels via the rear axle differential. In the all-wheel version, the downforce is provided by the hang-on all-wheel clutch, the beveloid gear wheel set and the connecting shaft directly onto the front-axle final drive.

Power Flow on Transmission 1, 5th Gear







In 5th gear, drive shaft 1 is connected to the constant with the result that the power flows directly through the transmission at a ratio of 1:1.

Power Flow on Transmission 2, Reverse Gear







The flow of power in reverse gear.
