DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring primarily to Figures 3 and 4 and additionally to Figure 1 , a powertrain arrangement 7 of the present invention includes an engine 10. The engine 10 is mounted longitudinally and has a rear extending output shaft 12. The output shaft 12 is torsionally connected directly or via damper with a main clutch input shaft 13. Shaft 13 is splined to a hub of a main clutch provided by a dual clutch 14. The clutch 14 has housings splined to an inner input shaft 50 and an outer input shaft 40.
A counter shaft gear 25 is meshed with the input shaft 40 which in turn meshes with a ratio defining output gear 26. Note, the rotational axis of shafts 40 and 80, and gear 25, and not coplanner as shown. The output gear 26 typically spins freely on the output shaft 80. A synchronizer 27 actuated to the right position connects the output gear
26 with the output shaft 80 providing a reverse gear of the transmission 30. Torsionally fixed on the outer input shaft 40 is a ratio defining input gear 22. Input gear 22 meshes with the output gear 24. If synchronizer 27 is actuated to the left to connect output gear 24 with output shaft 80, transmission 30 will be in the fifth gear ratio. Input shaft 40 also mounts input gear 28. Input gear 28 is in meshed relationship with a ratio defining output gear 29. A synchronizer 51 actuated to the right connects output gear 29 with the output shaft 80 to provide a second gear ratio for the transmission 30. Input shaft 40 additionally mounts an input gear 32. Input gear 32 meshes with a ratio defining output gear 31. Actuation of synchronizer 51 to the left connects input gear 31 with output shaft 80 to provide a fourth gear ratio of the transmission 30. Output shaft 50, which along with input shaft 40, is coaxial with the engine output shaft 12. Output shaft 50 mounts an input gear 33. Input gear 33 meshes with a ratio defining output gear 34. Actuation of synchronizer 35 to the right connects output gear 34 with the output shaft 80 to provide a third gear ratio of the transmission 30. A gear tooth portion 36 of the input shaft 50 meshes with an output gear 37. Actuation of the synchronizer 35 to the left connects the output gear 37 with the output shaft 80 to provide a first gear ratio of the transmission 30. Ratio defining input gear 38 is also provided on the input shaft 50. Input gear 38 meshes with an output gear 39 providing a sixth gear ratio of the transmission 30 when the synchronizer 41 is actuated to the right.
A left (rear) end of the output shaft 80 is torsionally connected with a gear 70. Gear 70 meshes with a gear 60 which has an integral stem 63 which is connected to a prop shaft 150, which is in turn connected with the rear differential 40. A front end of the output shaft
80 has connected thereto a gear 90. Gear 90 meshes with a coupling gear 100. Coupling gear 100 provides an input to a coupling clutch 110. Coupling clutch 110 has an output shaft 105 which is torsionally connected with the front differential 120. In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 3, the torsional connection between the coupling clutch
110 and the front differential 120 is not exposed since the clutch module 20 directly connects the front differential. - A -
Figure 2 illustrates an embodiment 107 of the present invention wherein the clutch module 20 and transmission 30 are directly connected with the rear differential 40 of the vehicle. A prop shaft 140 extends from the engine 10 to the clutch module 20. In the embodiment 107 there is a damper 15 juxtaposed between the engine and the prop shaft 140. A second prop shaft 130 is provided which extends between the coupling clutch 110 and the front differential 120. Figure 5 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention wherein the clutch module additionally has a damper 76 which is connected with the input shaft 13 of the main clutch 14. Figure 6 illustrates an embodiment the present invention having the previously mentioned damper 76 and also having a gear 71 that is meshed with a gear 73 which powers a lubricant pump 72. Figure 7 is a view similar to that of Figure 6 wherein the damper is deleted, however, there is still a gear 71 which is meshed with the gear 73 which powers the pump 72. The clutch modules shown in Figures 5, 6, and 7 if desired can be substituted for the clutch modules shown in Figures 1 and 2.
Further areas of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description provided hereinafter. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the preferred embodiment of the invention, are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
