<p>PURPOSE: To limit occupied volume by an engine, a transmission, etc., and improve crush resistance ability in a front-wheel drive car with a transversely mounted engine. CONSTITUTION: In a T-type power transmission device for an automobile provided with an internal combustion engine installed in an engine section of a vehicle, a crankshaft axis is disposed transversely to a geometric center plane of the vehicle, a power transmission mechanism has its basic axis disposed in the longitudinal direction roughly along the geometric center plane of the vehicle, drive transmission between an engine and a transmission gear includes direct driving, and for a cross-axis gear assembly, a drive gear carried by an engine crankshaft is installed on the crankshaft close to a center position between end parts of the crankshaft.</p> |
