Context:
Eine gattungsgemäße Antriebswellenbaugruppe weist wenigstens eine flexible Antriebswelle zur Übertragung einer Verstellkraft sowie eine längserstreckte Führung auf.
Possible translations:
1. transmit
2. transfer
... one flexible drive shaft for transmitting/transferring an adjustment force, and ....
Clarification on linguistic determinants for this term:
The term show the action driven by a gear mechanism (an object: drive shaft) toward another object.

transfer/transmission
Since you are dealing in physics here, I would refer to heat transfer or heat transmission in thermodynamics, which in German is Wärmeübertragung.
Also, Kraftübertragung is translated as transmission of power (not force though) with an autom.(otive) reference by LEO (see link below)...
