A power transfer unit assembly transfers torque from a powertrain to a propeller shaft. The power transfer unit assembly includes an input shaft, a transfer shaft, and a disconnect mechanism disposed between the input shaft and the transfer shaft. The transfer shaft is meshingly engaged with the driven member. The input shaft is selectively rotatably driven by the powertrain about a first axis of rotation and the drive member is selectively rotatably driven by the powertrain about a second axis of rotation. The disconnect mechanism is selectively engaged and disengaged. When the disconnect mechanism is engaged, torque is transferred from the input shaft to the driven member, via the transfer shaft. When the disconnect mechanism is disengaged, the input shaft is disconnected from the transfer shaft such that torque is not transferred from the input shaft to the driven member.
