<p>A gear reduction mechanism, particularly for use in an offset final drive unit for vehicular applications, has an input gear (20) meshing directly with the output gear (21) and two additional gear trains ((22),23) and ((24),25) between the input and output gears. Three separate load paths therefore exist for the transmission of torque from the input gear to the output gear which means that the face widths of all the gears can be substantially reduced in comparison with a conventional single-mesh arrangement and the overall mechanism can therefore be of reduced width.</p> |
