2. Differential (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

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

   The left sun gear (red) provides more resistance than the right sun gear (yellow), which causes the planet gear (green) to rotate anti-clockwise. This produces slower rotation in the left sun gear and faster rotation in the right sun gear, resulting in the car's right wheel turning faster (and thus travelling farther) than the left wheel.

3. Bicycle drivetrain systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_drivetrain_systems

   A chain drive and rear derailleur gear change, the most popular system in use today A shaft-drive with crankset and rear gear hub. Bicycle drivetrain systems are used to transmit power on bicycles, tricycles, quadracycles, unicycles, or other human-powered vehicles from the riders to the drive wheels.

4. Gear inches - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_inches

   Simplified diagram of gear inches: As the rear sprocket is halfed in size, the distance traveled by the rear wheel doubles, at half the torque. Gear inches is an imperial measure corresponding to the diameter in inches of the drive wheel of a penny-farthing bicycle with equivalent ( direct-drive ) gearing.

5. Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential

   In 1932, Ferdinand Porsche designed a Grand Prix racing car for the Auto Union company. The high power of the design caused one of the rear wheels to experience excessive wheel spin at any speed up to 160 km/h (100 mph). In 1935, Porsche commissioned the engineering firm ZF to design a limited-slip differential to improve performance.

6. List of Subaru transmissions - Wikipedia

   After its introduction in 1984, the Justy was also available with 4WD and thus a different gearbox. The gear ratios for this gearbox were altered slightly. In 1994 the normal/FWD gearbox was dropped; one could only get a 4WD gearbox by then. Gear ratios: 1st 3.071 2nd 1.695 3rd 1.137 4th .771 5th .631, Rev 3.461 Final 5.200

7. Manual transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

   Floor-mounted gear stick in a Mazda Protege passenger car Common shift pattern for a 5-speed transmission. In most vehicles with a manual transmission, the driver selects gears by manipulating a lever called a gear stick (also called a gearshift, gear lever or shifter). In most automobiles, the gear stick is located on the floor between the ...

9. 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 ...
