Final Drive Gearset
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln MKX and 2007 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The final drive consists of a planetary gearset that transfers and multiplies torque from the planetary gear sets to the differential.
The final drive consists of the following components:
- Transfer shaft and gear
- Carrier (part of the differential case)
- Ring gear
The sun gear is splined to the front ring gear and rear carrier of the planetary gear sets. The sun gear acts as the driving member and the carrier as the driven member. The ring gear is held stationary inside the case using lugged teeth.
