Range Box
Transfer case providing high and low range gear selections for 4WD vehicles. Multiplies the gear ratios for off-road crawling or highway driving.
Transfer case providing high and low range gear selections for 4WD vehicles. Multiplies the overall gear ratios — low range for off-road crawling with maximum torque, high range for normal highway driving.
Inherited Methods
This device inherits all methods and properties from the Powertrain Base Device.

Powertrain Base Device
Base class inherited by all powertrain components. Provides common methods for locking, disabling, and querying device state. Every powertrain device shares these properties.
Sequential Gearbox
High-performance sequential transmission for rapid gear changes. Supports dog-ring engagement, flat-shift capability, and gear whine audio simulation.
