transmission main shaft) are in mesh with the internal

teeth of the constant mesh gear mounted on this shaft.

Likewise, the external teeth of the front-axle sliding gear

are in mesh with internal teeth on the constant-mesh

gear

the

sliding

are

engaged.

Disengagement of the drive to the front axle is

accomplished by shifting the sliding gear on the front-

axle main shaft out of mesh with the constant-mesh gear,

permitting the latter to roll free on the shaft, or sliding the

clutches out of mesh.

b. Low Range. When using the low range in the

transfer assembly, the sliding gear on the transmission

main shaft is disengaged from the constant-mesh gear

and engaged with the idler gear on the idler shaft. This

reduces the speed by having the sliding gear mesh with

the larger idler gear. The shifting linkage on some

vehicles is arranged so that shifting into the low range is

possible only when the drive to the front axle is engaged.

This prevents the driver from applying maximum torque

to the rear drive only, which might cause damage.
