ABSTRACT:
A torque disconnect mechanism controls transmission of torque from a first shaft to a second shaft in a transmission. The mechanism includes a housing which rotatably supports the first and second shafts, and which has an opening formed therein. A coupling member is movable from an engaged position wherein the coupling member couples the first shaft with the second shaft to a disengaged position wherein the first and second shafts are uncoupled from each other. A plug member is mountable in the opening and is engagable with the coupling member. The plug member is movable from a first position holding the coupling member in its engaged position to a second position holding the coupling member in its disengaged position.
