More Information
Summary:Various methods and systems are provided for an dual-faced clutch collar for a transmission. In one example, a dual-faced clutch collar positioned on an output shaft of a gearbox comprises a clutch collar spline, where the clutch collar spline mates with the output shaft; a first face having a first set of axially protruding teeth to engage a high torque coupling, the first set of teeth having a first profile; and a second face having a second set of axially protruding teeth to engage a low torque coupling; the second set of teeth having a second profile; the second profile being different from the first profile. The first profile may be a courser tooth profile, to allow for maximum load carrying capacity, and the second profile may be a finer tooth profile, to allow for quicker gear engagements and more neutral space (e.g., due to reduced tooth depths).
