What is an Automotive Axle?
The axle supports the wheels. Therefore, the axle varies in design according to the type of suspension and power train (FF, FR, 4WD, etc.). The axle shaft supports the wheel and transmits the drive torque Read more What is an Automotive Axle?
What is an Automotive Limited Slip Differential ?
The LSD is a mechanism that limits the differential when one of the wheels begins to slip and generates an appropriate drive force in the other wheel to allow the vehicle to drive smoothly. There are various Read more What is an Automotive Limited Slip Differential ?
Power Transmission and Manual Transmission Path
Manual transaxles are located at the left end or right end of transversely mounted engines in FF vehicles. Manual transmissions are located to the rear of vertically mounted engines in FR vehicles.
What is an Automotive Manual Transaxle drive train?
The drive train transmits the power of the engine to the wheels. It is broadly divided into the following classifications:
1. FF (Front engine-Front wheel drive vehicle)
The drive force from the Read more What is an Automotive Manual Transaxle drive train?
Outline of Manual Transaxle of a Car
A manual transaxle (manual transmission) is a device that increases and decreases the engine speed by the gear and converts it to appropriate torque in order to transmit it to the drive wheels.
Automotive Clutch Cover Parts and Descriptions
The primary purpose of the clutch cover is to connect and disconnect engine power. It must be well balanced while it is rotating, and radiate heat efficiently at the time of clutch engagement. The clutch Read more Automotive Clutch Cover Parts and Descriptions
The Propeller Shaft Description
The propeller shaft (on FR vehicles and 4WD vehicles) transmits power from the transaxle/transmission to the differential. The propeller shaft can move up and down in response to the road conditions and Read more The Propeller Shaft Description
What is an Automotive Drive Shaft/Axle Shaft ?
The drive shaft/axle shaft transmits the drive force to the wheel. 1. Drive shaft (Independent suspension type) They must have a mechanism which absorbs changes in the length of the drive shafts accompanying Read more What is an Automotive Drive Shaft/Axle Shaft ?
Synchromesh Mechanism 1 of 2
1. Description
The synchromesh mechanism is used to prevent “gear noise” and to make gear shifting smoother. This mechanism is called “synchromesh” because two gears which rotational speed is different Read more Synchromesh Mechanism 1 of 2
