A hybrid input quill for torque transmissions is provided. The hybrid input quill includes an input shaft with an input pinion gear, with an attached bevel pinion gear allowing auxiliary power to be extracted from the transmission separate from the main transmission gearing system. Through the use of spacing devices, the positions of the input pinion gear and the bevel pinion gear may be independently adjusted. The invention includes transmissions incorporating hybrid input quills, including face gear driven transmissions utilized for driving rotorcraft and any other mechanically driven vehicle.
