ABSTRACT:
A power transfer system is disclosed having a drop box for connecting a motor vehicle's drivetrain to an offset driveline. The drop box has an input that is angled relative to its output by means of a constant velocity (CV) universal joint. More specifically, a first rotary member is coupled for driven rotation about the rotary axis of the transmission output shaft while a second rotary member is supported for rotation about a second rotary axis that is angled relative to the first rotary axis. A CV joint drivingly interconnects the second rotary member to the first rotary member. The drop box also includes a third rotary member adapted for connection to the driveline and which is supported for rotation about a third rotary axis that is offset from the second rotary axis. A drive connection interconnects the third rotary member to the second rotary member. The CV joint allows the drop box to be angulated so that a reduced departure angle is achieved with respect to the prop shaft connection.
