Abstract:
A power transmitting system for a vehicle, in which driving force provided from a transmission coupled to a laterally mounted front drive engine is distributed to front and rear wheels through a transfer disposed behind said engine, said transfer comprises:a transmission shaft section; a pair of bevel gears which changes a transmission direction of the driving force; a first gear provided on said transmission shaft section having said transmission direction being changed by one of said bevel gears; a second gear engaged with said first gear, which shifts an axis of said transmission shaft section in parallel; an output shaft which is rotatably inserted into a gear shaft of said second gear so that the driving force is transmitted to said transmission shaft section; and a coupling mechanism section which controls a transmission torque between said gear shaft of said second gear and said output shaft, wherein said coupling mechanism section is disposed on an axis of said second gear, and is closer to said engine than said second gear.
