2. Differential (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mechanical...

   Planetary differential used to drive a chart recorder c. 1961. The motors drive the Sun and annular gears, while the output is taken from the planet gear carrier. This gives 3 different speeds depending on which motors are on. Non-automotive uses of differentials include performing analogue arithmetic. Two of the differential's three shafts are ...

3. Drivetrain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drivetrain

   A cutaway view of an automotive final drive unit, which contains the differential. The final drive is the last in the set of components which delivers torque to the drive wheels. In a road vehicle, it incorporates the differential. In a railway vehicle, it sometimes incorporates the reversing gear.

4. Gear train - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_train

   Moreover, the differential contains gearing that splits torque equally [citation needed] between the two wheels while permitting them to have different speeds when traveling in a curved path. The transmission and final drive might be separate and connected by a driveshaft, or they might be combined into one unit called a transaxle. The gear ...

5. Overdrive (mechanics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdrive_(mechanics)

   With the early development of cars and the almost universal rear-wheel drive layout, the final drive (i.e. rear axle) ratio for fast cars was chosen to give the ratio for maximum speed. The gearbox was designed so that, for efficiency, the fastest ratio would be a "direct-drive" or "straight-through" 1:1 ratio, avoiding frictional losses in the ...

6. Powertrain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powertrain

   A cutaway view of an automotive final drive unit, which contains the differential. The final drive is the last in the set of components which delivers torque to the drive wheels. In a road vehicle, it incorporates the differential. In a railway vehicle, it sometimes incorporates the reversing gear.

7. Drive shaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_shaft

   The transmission and final drive for the front axle are combined into one housing alongside the engine, and a single drive shaft runs the length of the car to the rear axle. This is a favoured design where the torque is biased to the front wheels to give car-like handling, or where the maker wishes to produce both four-wheel drive and front ...

8. List of Toyota transmissions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Toyota_transmissions

   Automatic – once placed in drive (or any other 'automatic' selector position), it automatically selects the gear ratio dependent on engine speed and load; Basically there are two types of engine installation: In the longitudinal direction, the gearbox is usually designed separately from the final drive (including the differential). The ...

9. Volkswagen 01M transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_01M_transmission

   Differential is emptied by removing the final drive cover on the rear of the transmission or by vacuum extraction through the speed sensor hole. Vacuum extraction is the more attractive option since a paper gasket seals the steel cover and access is very difficult. Filling is through the speed sensor hole. Differential oil capacity is about 1 ...
