Automobile transmission system-1
Transmission system-1 Transmission is a speed reducing mechanism, equipped with several gears. It may be called a sequence of gears and shafts, through which the engine power is transmitted to the car wheels. The system consists of various devices that cause forward and backward movement of cars to suit different field condition. The complete path of power from the engine to the wheels is called power train. 1. Function of power transmission system Function of power transmission system: (i) to transmit power from the engine to the rear wheels of the car, (ii) to make reduced speed available, to rear wheels of the car, (ii) to alter the ratio of wheel speed and engine speed in order to suit the field conditions and (iv) to transmit power through right angle drive, because the crankshaft and rear axle are normally at right angles to each other. The power transmission system consists of: (a) Clutch (b) Tr
