2. Linkage (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_(mechanical)

   Linkage mobility Locking pliers exemplify a four-bar, one degree of freedom mechanical linkage. The adjustable base pivot makes this a two degree-of-freedom five-bar linkage. It is common practice to design the linkage system so that the movement of all of the bodies are constrained to lie on parallel planes, to form what is known as a planar ...

3. Shift-by-wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift-by-wire

   A park by wire system engages the parking pawl of a transmission using electrical means, without the traditional mechanical system which involves linkages between the gear shifter and the transmission. Park-by-wire can be considered a part of a shift by wire system, as it shifts the transmission into park mode. [1]

4. Transmission (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

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

   Transmission internals for a 2009 Volkswagen Golf. A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses a gear set—two or more gears working together—to change the speed, direction of rotation, or torque multiplication/reduction in a machine. [1] [2]

5. Drivetrain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drivetrain

   The powertrain consists of the prime mover (e.g. an internal combustion engine and/or one or more traction motors) and the drivetrain - all of the components that convert the prime mover's power into movement of the vehicle (e.g. the transmission, driveshafts, differential and axles); [4] [5] whereas the drivetrain does not include the power ...

6. Four-bar linkage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-bar_linkage

   A slider-crank linkage is a four-bar linkage with three revolute joints and one prismatic, or sliding, joint. The rotation of the crank drives the linear movement the slider, or the expansion of gases against a sliding piston in a cylinder can drive the rotation of the crank.

7. Automated manual transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_manual_transmission

   The system generally uses an electric actuator and electronic sensors, which replace the mechanical clutch linkage or hydraulic clutch connection, to monitor and control clutch positioning, completely replacing the hydraulic linkage between the mechanical clutch and pedal itself with a single electro-mechanical actuator. [20] [21] [22]

8. Parking pawl - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_pawl

   The parking pawl locks the transmission's output shaft to the transmission casing by engaging a pawl (a pin) that engages in a notched wheel on the shaft, stopping it (and thus the driven wheels) from rotating. The main components of a parking pawl mechanism are the parking gear, parking pawl, actuator rod, cam collar, cam plate, pivot pin, and ...

9. Semi-automatic transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-automatic_transmission

   The 1941 Chrysler M4 Vacamatic transmission was a two-speed manual transmission with an integral underdrive unit, a traditional manual clutch, and a fluid coupling between the engine and the clutch. [51] [52] [53] The two-speed transmission had "high" and "low" ranges, and the clutch was used when the driver wanted to switch between ranges. For ...
