A mechanism for operatively connecting an engine and transmission within a ehicle. The mechanism includes a rotary cylinder-like structure 33 having spline lock elements adapted to mesh with spline lock elements carried by an end wall of the engine. A worm-worm wheel assembly or its equivalent is used to effect rotation of the cylinder; self-locking characteristic of the worm-worm wheel unit resists load forces tending to disturb the lock action. An annular housing structure is provided to seal the lock mechanisms from mud, snow, etc. in the ambient atmosphere.
