Operation of the manual transmission system
Page 21 | Listen in audio
The manual transmission system is one of the most important parts of a car's operation. He is responsible for transmitting the power generated by the engine to the wheels of the vehicle, allowing it to move. The manual transmission system is made up of several parts and components, such as clutch, gearbox, cardan shaft and differential.
Clutch
The clutch is a fundamental component of the manual transmission system. She is responsible for transferring engine power to the exchange box. The clutch is composed of a friction disc, a plateau and a bearing. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the friction disc is disengaged from the plateau, allowing the transmission to be disengaged and the engine to run without transmitting power to the wheels.
Exchange box
The gearbox is the component that allows the driver to select the correct gear for the speed and driving conditions. It is composed of a set of gears, synchronizers and shafts. When the driver changes gears, the gearbox selects the appropriate gear and transmits it to the output shaft.
Cardinal shaft
The cardan shaft is a component that transmits power from the gearbox to the differential. It consists of two or more shafts joined by universal joints. The cardan shaft is responsible for transmitting the engine power from the gearbox output shaft to the differential.
Differential
The differential is a component that allows the vehicle's rear wheels to rotate at different speeds. This is necessary because when cornering, the outer wheels travel a longer path than the inner wheels. The differential is made up of a set of gears that allow the wheels to rotate at different speeds without compromising the stability of the vehicle.
In summary, the manual transmission system is made up of several components that work together to transmit power from the engine to the wheels of the vehicle. The clutch disengages the engine from the gearbox, allowing the engine to run without transmitting power to the wheels. The gearbox allows the driver to select the appropriate gear. The cardan shaft transmits power from the gearbox to the differential, and the differential allows the rear wheels to rotate at different speeds. All of these components work together to ensure that the manual transmission system runs smoothly and efficiently.
