Abstract
A selectively connectable driveline system including a first rotatable shaft extended along a lateral direction, a second rotatable shaft extended along the lateral direction separable along the lateral direction from the first rotatable shaft, and a coupling assembly moveable along the lateral direction. The coupling assembly is connected to the first rotatable shaft and is further selectively connectable to the second rotatable shaft.
