A drive mechanism for use with an electric motor and a clutch mechanism includes a rotor shaft, a disconnect shaft, a disconnect mechanism, at least one damper element, and a part of a clutch. The rotor shaft and disconnect shaft have a longitudinal axis A. The disconnect shaft transmits torque between the rotor shaft and the clutch mechanism. The disconnect shaft comprises the part of the clutch and a shaft element. The disconnect mechanism is configured to move the disconnect shaft between an engaged position in which the part of the clutch is engaged with the clutch mechanism and a disengaged position in which the part of the clutch is not engaged with the clutch mechanism. The at least one damper element is configured to absorb at least part of any kinetic energy introduced into the disconnect shaft due to movement of the disconnect shaft.
