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 ...
the number of possible gear ratios is 24 (=3×8, this is the number usually quoted in advertisements); the number of usable gear ratios is 22; the number of distinct gear ratios is typically 16 to 18. The combination of 3 chainrings and an 8-sprocket cogset does not result in 24 usable gear ratios.
Spur-gear differential. A spur-gear differential has equal-sized spur gears at each end, each of which is connected to an output shaft. [8] The input torque (i.e. from the engine or transmission) is applied to the differential via the rotating carrier. [8] Pinion pairs are located within the carrier and rotate freely on pins supported by the ...
The 6R is a 6-speed automatic transmission for longitudinal engine placement in rear-wheel drive vehicles. It is based on the ZF 6HP26 transmission [1] and has been built under license by the Ford Motor Company at its Livonia Transmission plant in Livonia, Michigan.
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
Simplified diagram of gear inches: As the rear sprocket is halved in size, the distance traveled by the rear wheel doubles, at half the torque. Gear inches is one way of measuring the gear ratio(s) of a bicycle, so that different gears and different bicycles can be compared in a consistent manner. Gear inches is an imperial measure ...
TREMEC engineers have recommended Texaco-Havoline Dexron III/Mercon Non-Synthetic ATF. There has been a significant amount of confusion regarding the proper capacity and proper type of ATF for the TR-3650 which may have a correlation with a rather large number of complaints about notchy shifting, shift "nibbling", noisy synchros, and grinding gears.
The gear range is difference between the highest and lowest gear ratios and may be expressed as a percentage (e.g., 500%) or as a ratio (e.g., 5:1). Heel [ edit ]
