Drive shafts must therefore be strong enough to bear the stress, whilst avoiding too much additional weight as that would in turn increase their inertia. 2.8.1 Role of Propeller Shaft The torque from the engine is to be transmitted to the rear wheels for propelling vehicle. The drive shaft must provide a smooth, uninterrupted flow…

Stages Fully depressed Clutch: The clutch is completely disengaged during the full depression stage and no torque is transmitted. Clutch slips: The clutch slip allows the engine rotation to adjust to the newly selected gear ratio gradually. Released Clutch: Torque will be transmitted to the transmission. Automatic Transmission System This advanced transmission system is composed…

Input torque is sent to the ring gear and then to carrier. The carrier gear is connected to both the side gears by the planet gear. The planet gear revolves driving the side gears. Torque to the Propeller shaft is supplied by transmission line. A bevel gear takes drive from propeller shaft, and is encased…

The arrangement are the same as constant mesh type gear box. Gears on the main shaft mesh with those on lay shaft. The gears on the lay shaft are fixed. This provision avoids the need for double declutching. Figure 2.7 shows design of a synchromesh gear box. These devices reduce the cost. Gears B, C, D, E in Figure…

 Introduction The transmission helps to transmit power from the engine to the wheels. It consists of gears, shafts, and other electrical connections. It is composed of systems shown in Figure 2.1: 2.2 Clutch This part is used to engage and disengage the engine from drive. It allows the driver to control the power flow between the…
