- Technician A says that when a car is moving straight ahead, all differential gears rotate as a unit. Technician B says that when a car is turning a corner, the inside differential side gear rotates slowly on the pinion, causing the outside side gear to rotate faster. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that if a single idler gear is used to obtain reverse gear, its size and number of teeth must be used to calculate gear ratios. Technician B says that an idler gear is often used for reverse gear because it causes the output shaft to rotate in the reverse direction of the input shaft. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardName the three drive configurations that a gearsetcan transfer torque.arrow_forward
- Why do you think a 5-speed manual Ford Mustang is geared as followed? Gear 1, 3.35:1 Ratio Gear 2, 1.93:1 Ratio Gear 3, 1.29:1 Ratio Gear 4, 1.00:1 Ratio Gear 5, 0.68:1 Ratio (Overdrive)arrow_forwardWhen discussing the various gear positions of a transfer case, Technician A says that when the transfer case is in low, the overall gear ratio is numerically increased. Technician B says that when the transfer case is in the high position, the vehicle operates in an overdrive mode due to the decrease in torque multiplication. Who is correct?arrow_forwardTo achieve a slow overdrive in a simple planetary gearset, the . a.sun gear must be the input member b.ring gear must be the input member c.planetary cart"ier must be the input memberring gear must be held d. ring gear must be heldarrow_forward
- In a simple planetary gearset, when the planetary carrier is held, the gearset produces a______. a. reverse b. direct drive c. fast overdrive d. forward reductionarrow_forwardTrue or False? The Ravigneaux gearset has one sun gear, two sets of planet gears, and two ring gears.arrow_forwardWhile discussing a Lepelletier system: Technician A says that two simple planetary gearsets are connected in tandem. Technician B says that these systems rely on various combinations of the planetary gears to obtain many forward gears. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- True or False? In most transmissions and transaxles, there is one synchronizer assembly for each speed gear.arrow_forwardTechnician A says that in a conventional transmission, the speed gears freewheel around the mainshaft until they are locked to it by the appropriate synchronizer. Technician B says that speed gears are an integral part of the countershaft assembly. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardA poorly adjusted shift linkage can cause which of the following problems? a. Gear clash b. Hard shifting c. The gear to jump out d. All of the abovearrow_forward
