What determines whether a conventional transmission or a transaxle is used?
Whether a conventional transmission or transaxle is used in a vehicle.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The type of drive system helps to determine either a transmission or transaxle is used.
Explanation of Solution
In a vehicle, the type of drive system helps in determining whether it is a conventional transmission or a transaxle. Both the transmission housing and transaxle uses a set of meshed gears of varying sizes to provide the engine various output torque and speed needed to drive the wheels. The vehicles that have rear wheel drive mainly use a conventional transmission and the vehicles with front-wheel drive use a transaxle.

- What three alignment checks should be made to ensure satisfactory and long service for directly coupled and belt-coupled power transmissions?arrow_forwardExplain the role of shift rails and shift forks in the operation of a transmission or transaxle.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about drive belt slippage is not true? Excessive heat normally comes from slippage. As a V-belt slips, it begins to ride deeper in the pulley groove. Slippage can be caused by improper belt tension or oily conditions. When there is slippage, heat travels through the drive pulley and down the shaft to the support bearing of the component it is driving.arrow_forward
