ABSTRACT:
An improved transmission system is provided for an automotive vehicle having multiple engines for reason of fuel economy, including primary and secondary internal combustion engines separately supplied with fuel and having crankshafts in parallel orientation and terminating in co-directionally rotating flywheels. The improved transmission system includes a clutch mechanism associated with the flywheels for controllably transferring rotary force axially to input shafts in spaced apart parallel relationship and coupled by a power transfer mechanism. A sprag clutch is interactive between the secondary input shaft and the power transfer mechanism. A main gear, driven by the power transfer mechanism, is located within a gear box having speed change gears.
