A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. An integrated actuator housing is operationally coupled to the shift actuator and a linear clutch actuator. The linear clutch actuator is a self-adjusting actuator, and the transmission includes a self-adjusting clutch.

A greasing device is configured to feed grease to a contact portion between a release bearing and a pressing part of a clutch release fork in a clutch release mechanism configured such that the pressing part presses the release bearing. The greasing device includes: a greasing pipe configured to extend from the outside of a clutch housing that houses a clutch main body including the release bearing toward the contact portion through a through-hole provided in the clutch housing, and to feed grease to the contact portion; and a positioning part configured to position the greasing pipe by coming into contact with each of an inner surface of the through-hole and a flat surface of the clutch release fork.

An axle assembly having a gear reduction unit and an interaxle differential unit. The gear reduction unit may be operatively connected to an input shaft and may selectively provide gear reduction to a differential assembly and the interaxle differential unit. The interaxle differential unit may operatively connect the gear reduction unit to the output shaft.

A transfer case includes a primary output shaft, and a secondary output selectively coupleable to the primary output shaft with a secondary torque transfer mechanism. The secondary torque transfer mechanism comprises a plate clutch and a locking sleeve. The plate clutch includes a housing coupled to the secondary output shaft, a plurality of interleaved plates alternatingly coupled to the primary output shaft and the housing, and an apply plate coupled to the primary output shaft and being configured to compress the interleaved plates to selectively form a friction coupling between the primary output shaft and the secondary output shaft. The locking sleeve is non-selectively coupled to one of the housing or the apply plate to rotate therewith, and is selectively coupleable to the other of the housing or the apply plate to form a positive coupling between the primary output shaft and the secondary output shaft.

An axle assembly having a gear reduction unit and an interaxle differential unit. The gear reduction unit may be operatively connected to an input shaft and may selectively provide gear reduction to a differential assembly and the interaxle differential unit. The interaxle differential unit may operatively connect the gear reduction unit to the output shaft.

A wear compensation device of a clutch actuator may include a screw movable along a longitudinal direction of a pull-rod axially received in the screw, a screw guider holding the screw to allow movement in the longitudinal direction and having a connection pin connected to a link member, a compensation nut supported by the screw guider, engaged with the screw, and having catching teeth, a compensation ring externally coupled with the compensation nut, having a catching protrusion to be locked with the catching teeth in one direction thereof, and having a guide pin on an external circumference of the compensation ring, and a guide block fixed to a housing, having a guide groove to receive the guide pin, and guiding the guide pin to rotate the compensation ring when the pull-rod is operated to a wear compensation range.

An electric powertrain includes a first electric motor that has an uninterrupted connection with a drive shaft of a vehicle. The electric powertrain further includes a second electric motor that has an interruptible connection with the drive shaft. In one form, this interruptible connection includes a clutch. The electric powertrain further includes a first gear train in the form of a first planetary gear and a second gear train in the form of a second planetary gear. The clutch in one variation includes a positive clutch in the form of a dog clutch. The dog clutch has a clutch suspension configured to deflect a clutch collar when gearing is misaligned during shifting.

A transfer case having an actuator assembly with a plastic actuator structure and a cam follower. The actuator structure defines a sleeve structure, a fork structure and a follower mount. The sleeve structure defines a shaft aperture that extends longitudinally along an actuation axis. The fork structure extends radially outwardly from the sleeve structure and defines a U-shaped fork member having a pair of tines that are disposed about an engagement axis that is parallel to and radially offset from the actuation axis. The follower mount extends radially outwardly from the sleeve structure. The cam follower is formed of metal and is partly encapsulated in the plastic material of the actuator structure. The cam follower extends from the follower mount along a follower axis that is parallel to the actuation axis. The follower axis is rotated about the actuation axis relative to the engagement axis.

A one-way clutch regenerative braking system includes a sleeve which is arranged on an outer circumference of a hub and moved in an axial direction, a clutch gear which is arranged on a side of the hub and meshed with the sleeve, and a one-way clutch which is arranged on an inner circumference of the hub and rotated in a first direction, wherein, when the sleeve and the clutch gear are meshed with each other, the clutch gear is rotated in a second direction which is opposite to a rotational direction of the one-way clutch.

The selectable one-way clutch includes a pocket plate, a notch plate, a cover plate, and plate-like struts. A one end portion of each strut is provided with an engagement surface and a projecting portion. Each strut comes into an erect state in which the engagement surface of the strut erects from the other surface of the cover plate toward the notch plate side. The selectable one-way clutch moves the notch plate in the axial direction to change a distance in the axial direction between the pocket plate and the notch plate, thereby carrying out switching between an out-of-engagement state in which the erecting struts cannot contact with the notches and a one-way clutch state in which the erecting struts can contact with the notches.
