ABSTRACT:
A drive coupling is movable to selectively engage and disengage a drive shaft with a final drive gear set. The coupling is sealingly disposed within a housing. To prevent the pressure within the housing from increasing or decreasing during movement of the coupling, a vent structure is formed on the drive coupling. The vent structure cooperates with the seal member to vent the housing during movement of the drive coupling to thereby ensure pressure balance within the housing.
