Final Drive Gearset: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The final drive consists of a gearset that transfers and multiplies torque from the planetary gearsets to the differential.
The final drive consists of the following components:
- Transfer shaft drive gear
- Transfer shaft and gear assembly
- Differential assembly
- Ring gear
The planetary gear set transfers power to the transfer shaft drive gear through the front planetary carrier hub. The transfer shaft drive gear is part of the stator support assembly. The transfer shaft drive gear turns the transfer shaft and gear assembly which multiplies torque through gear reduction and turns the differential ring gear.
