transmits power from the clutch to the transmission
What is transmission input shaft
100
The number of revolutions a gear must turn before the driven gear completes one revolution.
What is gear ratio
100
Device used to help mesh the gears when shifting
What is a synchronizer
100
Shifting from a high gear to a lower gear is also known as _________
What is downshifting
100
usually used to support the input shaft. Handles radial load well
What is a ball bearing
200
must be shifted by hand to change the amount of torque going to various parts of the drive train
What is manual transmission
200
Their teeth cut parallel to the centerline of the gear shaft.
What is spur or straight cut gears
200
Usually happens when the synchronizers are worn.
What is grinding during a shift
200
a device in the transmission that has the same name as an eating utensil. (Used to move the synchronizer sleeve)
What is a fork "shifting fork"
200
Usually used to support the cluster gear. Handles radial load extremely well.
What are needle bearings
300
combines both the tranmission and the differential into a single housing.
What is trans axle
300
The small clearance between the meshing gear teeth.
What is gear backlash
300
This is usually a top gear with a ratio less then 1.
What is an overdrive gear
300
has multiple gears machined from a single piece of material.
What is a cluster gear
300
A device used to take up the thrust load of the helical cut counter shaft or cluster gear.
What is a thrust washer
400
for a given vehicle - if you change to a higher gear which increases the shaft speed then the shaft torque must _________ to maintain the same power.
What is decreases
400
Their teeth machined at an angle to the centerline of the gear shaft.
What are Helical gears
400
Process of downshifting where you shift to neutral - then let out the clutch and rev the engine to match the shaft speeds - then engage the clutch a second time and shift into gear.
What is double clutching
400
usually has the speedometer drive gear attached to it along with the drive line
What is the output shaft
400
Material usually used for making thrust washers
What is Bronze
500
Used in different ratios to change the torque speed relationship.
What is gears
500
run quieter and smoother but are more expensive to manufacter.
What are helical gears
500
This device keeps you from shifting into 2 gears at one time.
What is a shift interlock
500
usually contains the model and serial number of the transmission
What is an ID tag
500
The brass part of the synchronizer that has fine ridges that ride against the gear cone which brings the two parts to the same RPM
