ABSTRACT:
A drive train for a four wheel drive vehicle including an engine and a clutch directing power through a high/low transmission to a six speed transmission located adjacent to and parallel with the engine in an expanded engine sump case. A constant velocity joint is driven from one end of the transmission output shaft for driving a rear differential associated with an independent rear suspension. From the other end of the transmission output shaft, a fluid coupling is employed to selectively engage a front differential. The front differential drives gear wheels to engage back to back constant velocity joints which are located lower than the differential rotational axis to advantage the suspension configuration.
