Why don't you use gears for the transfer case, but use sprockets and chains?
1、Chain sprockets are standard parts, which can reduce the design and processing costs. 2、If only one gear is used to drive the output shaft rotation will be reversed, it is inevitable to require an idler in the middle, one more idler and one more set of bearings, the reliability and maintenance become worse, and the weight becomes bigger. Chain does not exist this problem.
