Modular drive axle having a three-speed transmission
This patent describes a transmission. It comprises an input means for receiving rotary motion, the input means having a first output surface and a second output surface; an output means for transmitting rotary motion to a work assembly, the output means comprising a drive shaft; a transfer means for transferring rotary motion from the input means to the output means, the transfer means having a countershaft gear and at least one intermediate gear, the countershaft gear is provided with a first output surface and an input surface, the first output surface is operatively coupled to the intermediate gear, the input surface is operatively coupled to the first output surface of the input means, the intermediate gear drives the output means at a first speed and the input means drives the output means at a second speed; and gear selection means operatively coupled to the output means and selectively coupled to the intermediate gear and the second output surface of the input means for selectively coupling the intermediate gear and the input means to the output means through the transfer means to the output means.
