2. Variomatic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variomatic

   It is a stepless, fully-automatic transmission, consisting of a V-shaped drive-belt, and two pulleys, each of two cones, whose effective diameter can be changed so that the "V" belt runs nearer the spindle or nearer the rim, depending on the separation of the cones. These are synchronized so that the belt always remains at the same optimal tension.

4. 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.

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. Close-ratio transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-ratio_transmission

   A close-ratio transmission is one which is described relative to another transmission for the same vehicle model. The relativity applies only for the transmissions offered for a single make and model; that is, there is no specific threshold value or accepted industry standard that determines whether the steps between gears constitute a normal or close-ratio transmission.

7. 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.

8. Differential (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

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

   A differential is a gear train with three drive shafts that has the property that the rotational speed of one shaft is the average of the speeds of the others. A common use of differentials is in motor vehicles , to allow the wheels at each end of a drive axle to rotate at different speeds while cornering.

9. Gear stick - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_stick

   A standard 5-speed shift pattern (on a Peugeot 206 knob). A gear stick (rarely spelled gearstick), [1] [2] gear lever (both UK English), gearshift or shifter (both U.S. English), more formally known as a transmission lever, is a metal lever attached to the transmission of an automobile.
