ABSTRACT:
A power transmission for a four-wheel drive vehicle includes a change-speed gearing mounted within a transmission casing, and an intermediate differential unit assembled within the transmission casing and drivingly connected to an output shaft of the change-speed gearing to be applied with a driving torque through the change-speed gearing for transmitting the driving torque to a first drive shaft for front-wheel drive and to a second drive shaft for rear-wheel drive. The differential unit comprises an input member drivingly connected to the output shaft of the change-speed gearing, a plurality of planetary gear sets coaxially arranged within the transmission casing and drivingly connected to the input member, the planetary gear sets being designed to provide a plurality of drive power trains at a different gear ratio, and a shift mechanism arranged to selectively connect one of the planetary gear sets to the first and second drive shafts.
