Re: Ultra compact 3 shafts transaxle

The lenght will be in the area of 500 mm. The out put flanges are off setted only 40 mm from the engine central line. This unit has been designed to replace the Lamborghini Gallardo unit.
It is calculated for 700 Nm. The input gear change is what do you want. All my transmissions are borning to be H pattern, mechanical sequential and automated. RPM in the area of 8.000 revs.
This unit is a 3 speed with low mwdium and high.
The primary and thre thirthiary are shifting together when i shift to 4th by going back to first and shifting medium, and so on.
The potential is to have 9 forward speed without adding gears. Just by turning more the barrel.
With only 11 gears I have 7 forward + 1 reverse. normaly 17 are neede to achieve this job.
Open deck design with isostatic shafts and shifting on a separate cover.
Estimated weight is 65 Kgs.
7 gears because now Formula 1 has 7 and to keep the engine neer to the top power area after upshifting.
This concept works every day in the SMART which is a 3 speed high and low with 2 crown wheels.
