Drive shaft design
The drive shaft is located above the pinion shaft and is mounted with two bearings in
the gearbox housing. As typically found in motor sports, the fixed gears of the gear
pairs are all located on this shaft.

Pinion shaft design
The pinion shaft is located below the drive shaft and is mounted with three bearings
in the gearbox housing. A special feature is the combination of cylindrical rollers and
angular contact ball bearings directly in front of the bevel gear. This bearing
arrangement directs the occuring forces into the housing in the best possible way.
The pinion shaft accommodates all idlers of the gear pairs as well as the sliding
sleeves, which are responsible for positive engagement.
