Abstract: A splined coupling assembly includes: a transfer gear having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a plurality of splines at the first end. The splined coupling assembly also includes a transfer housing having a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and a tubular portion located at the second side. The tubular portion includes a plurality of splines. The plurality of splines of the transfer housing are configured to mesh with the plurality of splines of the transfer gear. The splined coupling assembly further includes a shear ring located in a shear ring groove in the tubular portion- and a retainer configured to retain the shear ring within the shear ring grove.
