Abstract
Transmission systems, disconnect mechanisms, and methods of assembling disconnect mechanisms are envisioned. A disconnect mechanism is adapted to selectively decouple a driving device from a driven device. The disconnect mechanism includes a lever, an inner shaft, an outer shaft, and a housing. The inner shaft is coupled to the lever, the outer shaft is coupled to the inner shaft, and the housing at least partially houses the inner shaft and the outer shaft.
