Bevel box
The housing structure, the bearings and the gears of the bevel box have been adapted for the higher torque
requirements in the T5 2010. At the same time, it has been possible to reduce the weight of the bevel box by 6.25 kg
compared to the previous type.
Structure and function
The bevel box is driven via a hollow shaft with inner spines. This hollow shaft is a component of the bevel box and
is positively connected to the housing of the differential via its splines. The spur gear on the hollow shaft transmits
the torque onto the intermediate shaft with hypoid gearing and subsequently to the propshaft via the pinion. The
stub shaft for the right front wheel runs inside the hollow shaft. This stub shaft is driven by the shaft bevel gear of
the differential.

The bevel boxes for the manual gearbox and the dual
clutch gearbox differ in the area of the attachment to
the differential.
