Abstract

A vehicle includes a continuously variable transmission (CVT) operatively connected to an engine, the CVT being disposed on a right side of the engine. A sub-transmission is operatively connected to the CVT and includes: an output shaft rotatable about an output shaft axis; a plurality of sub-transmission driven members mounted to the output shaft and operatively connected to the CVT, the plurality of sub-transmission driven members including a first sub-transmission driven member and a second sub-transmission driven member; a shifter selectively drivingly engaging the first sub-transmission driven member and the second sub-transmission driven member with the output shaft; and a sub-transmission driving member mounted to the output shaft and rotatable therewith. One of a differential assembly and a spool operatively connects the sub-transmission driving member to at least one ground-engaging member of the vehicle.
