Description
| Differential Differentials is a simple, one speed gearbox consisting of a pinion gear and ring gear. |
Transmission The transmission is a critical part of a machine’s powertrain. Its function is to take the output from the engine and manipulate it to control speed, direction and torque. |

| Torque Converters The torque converter is a fluid coupling which transmits rotating energy from the engine flywheel to an output shaft, which drive the transmission. |
Final Drive The final drive assemblies consist of two planetary gearsets connected together to provide a double reduction in speed and further increase torque to the drive wheels. |
