Gear selection lever on the steering column of a 1934 Daimler Fifteen. A preselector gearbox is a type of manual transmission mostly used on passenger cars and racing cars in the 1930s, in buses from 1940–1960 and in armoured vehicles from the 1930s to the 1970s. The defining characteristic of a preselector gearbox is that the gear shift ...
Introduced in 2005, the Kenworth 963 is the largest truck ever mass-produced by Kenworth (replacing the 1958-2004 953, the final vehicle of the 900-series). [6] Sharing (only) its cab with the W900, the 963 is a 6x6 vehicle developed exclusively for off-road heavy-haul use (primarily for desert oilfields), with the ability to pull up to 500,000 ...
A steering box design, such as recirculating ball, is much less sensitive. Despite this, the other advantages of rack and pinion steering have led to its almost universal adoption, at least for light automobiles. Steering kickback is distinct from torque steering, bump steer or roll steer. These are similar outside influences that affect the ...
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 driver and front passenger, but some cars have a gear stick that is mounted to the steering column or center ...
The steering linkage which connects the steering gearbox to the front wheels consists of a number of rods. These rods are connected with a socket arrangement similar to a ball joint, called a tie rod end, allowing the linkage to move back and forth freely so that the steering effort will not interfere with the vehicles up-and-down motion as the ...
The control input for steering also became lighter, allowing the use of a single hand-controlled joystick or "wobble stick", as used for the CD-850-1 transmission in the T44 Cargo Tractor of 1950. [2] The construction of these transmissions also integrated the transmission and steering gearbox functions into a single casing.
A parallelogram steering linkage is called such because like its namesake, the two sides of the linkage run parallel to each other and are equal in distance. This type of steering linkage uses four tie rods, one inner and one outer on each side (left and right) that are connected by an adjustment sleeve, a center link (which runs between the tie rods), an idler arm on the passenger side, and a ...
