A power transmission device includes a gear mechanism, a wall part that overlaps with the gear mechanism in an axial direction, a plate provided between the wall part and the gear mechanism in the axial direction, and a park lock mechanism. The park lock mechanism has a parking pawl on a side of a surface of the plate facing the wall part. The park lock mechanism has a manual shaft and/or a detent mechanism on a side of a surface of the plate facing the gear mechanism.

A gearwheel body of structure-borne sound-reducing lightweight construction for electric drives in which shifting of the contact pattern of the wheel body under load is minimized in the case of a gearwheel body having a structured web extending substantially within a radial plane between a shaft seat and a toothed ring. The web has spiral structures that are thickened in a rib-like manner, and the spiral structures are aligned in such a way that their spiral shape meets at least the toothed ring at an oblique angle.

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 includes a single external power access for the shift actuator. A controller interprets a shaft displacement angle, determines if the transmission is in an imminent zero or zero torque region, and performs a transmission operation in response to the transmission in the imminent zero or zero torque region.

A vibration-reducing portal box assembly for mounting a wheel of an off-road vehicle includes a housing with a receptacle adapted to receive a stock axle shaft of an off-road vehicle, an output shaft operably connectable to a stock axle received in the housing and effective to rotate upon rotation of said stock axle, and a wheel hub having a central opening adapted to receive said output shaft, and adapted to turn a wheel mounted to said wheel hub upon rotation of said output shaft. The output shaft has a tapered portion connecting its proximal end to its distal end. The wheel hub has a tapered portion adapted to matingly receive the tapered portion of the output shaft. The output shaft may be connected to the stock axle shaft by a geared linking mechanism.
