To improve transmission efficiency is always a major challenge of any automobile industry. Transmissionperformance can be improved by minimizing transmission losses. In most of the vehicles CVJ is coupled with driveshaft,and power is transmitted from gearbox to driveshaft with the help of splines. Splines get wear after certain number offatigue cycles, and create unnecessary clearance between mating splines. This leads to wobble CVJ, uncontrollablewheel wobble at higher vehicle speed, Centre misalignment of shaft between both CVJ tulip, gives initial jerk to vehicleand causes delay in quick acceleration of vehicle. And hence regular maintenance and replacement of componentsneeded. So, there is need to develop a system which overcomes all these problems. For this, we designed a system havingintegration of CVJ with final drive gear of gearbox. The spline method eliminated, and this new method increasesstrength to weight ratio and reduces rotational inertia resulting better performance of the vehicle. This integrated partcan be made by simple manufacturing processes which reduces manufacturing cost and time. We have also design aconstant velocity joint which gives constant velocity up to 40-degree articulation angle. This paper gives the detailinformation and the procedure to achieve this.
