The Transmission in a Ferret
The transmission in a Ferret In the Ferret transmissive power from the engine is taken through a fluid flywheel to a five speed pre-selector gearbox. At the front of, and forming a single unit with the gearbox, is a transfer box which contains a forward and reverse mechanism and a differential drive: the H-drive. An H-drive drivetrain is used for heavy off-road vehicles to supply power to each wheel. H-drives do not use axles but rather individual wheel stations. A transfer case is a part of the drivetrain of four-wheel-drive, in other words: a vehicle with multiply-powered axles. With a permanent 4x4 drive there is no ‘diff' action between the front wheels and rear wheels on either side. Therefore, the only disadvantage of the H-differential configuration is wind-up. A single differential splits the drive into separate left and right drive shafts. At each wheel station a bevel box drives the half-shaft out to the wheel. Effectively, a longitudinal diff lock is permanently engaged in a vehicle with an H- drive. The advantages of the H-differential are: Independent suspension at each wheel station Traction is maintained if one wheel loses grip Greater ground clearance and lower unsprung mass (no centre diff box on the axle). A low unsprung mass (i.e. the suspension, wheels/tracks and other components directly connected to the suspension) leads to better ride & handling and less vibration. The upper half of the Ferret transfer box contains two spiral bevel directional control gears, in constant mesh with the driving bevel on the output shaft of the gearbox. -

Jeep Cherokee XJ Grand ZJ 1 Inch and 1.5 Inch Transfer Case
PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS Jeep Cherokee XJ Grand ZJ 1 Inch and 1.5 Inch Transfer Case INSTRUCTIONS - Read complete instructions before beginning installation, the following special tools are recommended: Coil spring compressor, floor jack, jack stands, and hand tools. 1. Park the vehicle on a flat level surface and block the front and rear tires. Place the transmission in neutral. 2. Loosen all of the engine mount bolts ½ turn. 3. Support the transfer case cross member with a transmission floor jack. Remove the 2 bolts, 2 nuts and 2 studs from each side of the cross member. 4. Slowly lower the cross member 1 1/8 inches to allow enough room to install the new tube or bar spacers. 5. Place the spacers supplied in this kit between the frame and cross member so that the edge of the spacers are nearly flush with the ends of the cross member and be sure that all the mounting holes are lined up. 6. Slowly raise the jack up to firmly hold the spacers in place. Using the new bolts supplied with this kit place a lock washer (if supplied) on the bolt first then the flat washer second. With everything in position place a drop of thread lock (not supplied) on the threads of each bolt in the kit. Insert the new bolts and torque to 33 foot lbs. Remove the transmission jack and set aside. 7. Re-torque the engine mount bolts loosened in step 4. The engines mount to block bolts torque to 45 foot lbs. The engines mount to frame bolts torque to 30 foot lbs. -
Analysis of the Electric Motor and Transmission for a 4X4 ATV
MATEC Web of Conferences 329, 01019 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/202032901019 ICMTMTE 2020 Analysis of the electric motor and transmission for a 4x4 ATV Kirill Evseev*, Alexey Dyakov, and Ksenia Popova Bauman Moscow State Technical University, 5/1, 2-ya Baumanskaya street, Moscow, 105005, Russia Abstract. The article presents the results of a comparative tests and mathematical modeling for the selection of various units and assemblies of motor vehicles. These results were analyzed for optimal power plant and transmission selection, followed by improvements to develop a vehicle with an up to date electromechanical transmission. The article substantiates the choice of components and assemblies for a 4x4 ATV with an electromechanical transmission. 1 Description of the developed all-terrain vehicle (ATV) Many works have been devoted to the creation of the technical appearance of all-terrain vehicles and the selection of its components. [1-17] Currently, there is a tendency to switch to environmentally friendly alternative methods of generating electrical energy, one of which is the electric motor. Unfortunately, now, ATVs with an electric motor are inferior to ATVs with internal combustion engines in terms of various performance characteristics. Although the former have a number of advantages over the latter: the absence of emissions, which makes it possible to improve the ecological state of the planet, and an almost silent operation mode, which makes it possible to use them during special operations, as well as for walks in natural protected areas. As a rule, during development work, it is necessary to make changes in the design of the mechanical part of the transmission, i.e. -

Types of Toyota 4 Wheel Drive Systems There are two basic types of 4 wheel drive systems used in Toyota vehicles. Part Time 4 Wheel Drive: Designed to be operated in 4WD mode in off-road or slippery conditions ONLY therefore the name Part-Time. Full Time 4 Wheel Drive (3 versions): Full-time 4WD vehicles can be operated in 4WD mode on all driving surfaces. • Full-Time (always on) • Full-Time Multimode (switch on or off) • Full-Time On-Demand These different types of 4 wheel drive systems vary upon vehicle model and year application. Transfer Case Design There are two designs of transfer cases used in Toyota models. The first was a gear driven design used in pickups and 4Runners until 1995. The Land Cruiser used an exclusive gear type in some later models.
