Transmission Device

Abstract

A transmission is provided including a splitter shaft having a concentric cavity defined in a distal end thereof and an outer wall surrounding the cavity. The outer wall has an increased thickness in order to reduce failure and fracturing in the outer wall area. A bearing hub adapted for supporting a larger bearing is also provided. The improved transmission may include a system for utilizing existing lubrication lines in order to lubricate a center section of the transmission. The components of the present invention may be provided as part of a kit for retrofitting an existing transmission in order to reduce failures and increase lifespan.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 - 11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . A method for lubricating a center section of a transmission comprising the steps of:
 locating an existing lubrication line that runs adjacent said center section of said transmission;   inserting a threaded connection into said lubrication line;   attaching a tube onto said threaded connection;   running said tube to a location adjacent components within said center section; and   attaching a spray orifice to a terminal end of said tube.
