Abstract:
A front differential double disconnect includes a front differential having a first side gear and a second side gear, a first shaft having a first gear configured to selectively engage the first side gear, a second shaft having a second gear, and a third shaft disposed between the first shaft and the second shaft. The third shaft includes a third gear configured to engage the second side gear and selectively engage the second gear. The first shaft is shiftable between a first position where the first gear does not engage the first side gear, and a second position where the first gear meshingly engages the first side gear to transmit rotational movement therebetween.
