Torque transmission

For transfer on driving wheels of the torque made by the engine all components of transmission have to work well-coordinated as much as possible.

The engine develops sufficient power only in the narrow range of frequencies of rotation of a bent shaft. In order that your Mercedes, nevertheless, developed sufficient traction effort during the overtaking and the movement on rise, the transmission with various transfer numbers is provided.
