To provide the car with four-wheel drive, 
transmission M56 has been modified (and 
given the designation M58) so that power can 
be taken off to a bevel gear. 

 

The power is transferred between the 
transmission's differential housing and bevel 
gear's tubular shaft via a splined joint. The 
bevel gear crown wheel is pressed and 
bonded to a tubular shaft. The bevel gear's 
crown wheel and pinion have a ratio of 1:3.31. 
As the final drive has a ratio of 1:3.31 the ratio 
between the front and rear wheels is the 
same. 
The bevel gear transmits power to the final 
drive via a propeller shaft. The propeller shaft
