Zusammenfassung: | A vehicle has a transmission detachably connected to an engine casing. The engine crankshaft includes a drive pulley connected via a belt to a driven pulley in the transmission, thus providing a continuously variable transmission between the engine crankshaft and the transmission. The transmission is operatively connected to a rear drive shaft for delivering torque via a rear differential to the rear wheels and is selectively connected, for four-wheel-drive traction, to a front drive shaft which delivers torque via a front differential to the front wheels. The front drive shaft passes through the engine casing, passing above the oil pan and between the crankshaft counterweights of a piston of the engine. |
