Abstract
A power train assembly for an all wheel drive automotive vehicle. The power train assembly includes a transmission assembly having a transmission output. A final drive unit is coupled to the transmission output and includes a torque multiplier. After torque multiplication, power from the final drive is provided to the front wheels of the vehicle. A power transfer unit diverts power from the transmission to the rear wheels of the vehicle. The power transfer unit is coupled to the transmission output such that power is received therefrom prior to torque multiplication by the final drive unit.
