The VTM-4 system consisted of a pair of computer-controlled wet clutches in the rear axle that worked in concert with the front wheels regardless of road conditions. On start-up, the VTM-4 system would send torque (power) from the front wheels to the rear wheels to supplement the normal front-wheel drive mode.
The system also features a VTM-4 lock button on the dashboard which locks the rear differential and sends 25% of the power to each rear wheel. However, the VTM-4 lock function only operates in first gear, second gear and reverse, and automatically disengages above 18 mph (29 km/h), then re-engages when the speed drops below 18 mph (29 km/h).
The VTM-4's electromagnetically driven clutch-operated differential [30] can transfer up to 70% of available torque to the rear-axle when needed. The VTM-4 system can also be electronically locked providing maximum torque to the rear wheels for better handling of adverse terrain or to assist the driver in becoming unstuck. [3]
Some modern automatic transaxles (integrated transmission and differential) do not use a heavy oil at all but lubricate with the lower viscosity hydraulic fluid, which is available at pressure within the automatic transmission. Gear oils account for about 20% of the lubricant market. [1]
Back for his age-41 season and the second year of his lucrative contract, shoulder issues again delayed the start to Verlander’s 2024 season, this time for a couple of weeks.
In January, a Japanese author admitted that her award-winning book, “The Tokyo Tower of Sympathy,” had been written with the help of ChatGPT. Shortly after receiving the Akutagawa Prize, Rie ...
A torque vectoring differential requires an electronic monitoring system in addition to standard mechanical components. This electronic system tells the differential when and how to vary the torque. Due to the number of wheels that receive power, a front or rear wheel drive differential is less complex than an all-wheel drive differential.
Part 1 of the "Abbott Elementary" and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" crossover aired on Wednesday, Jan. 8, at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT. The second crossover is expected later in 2025, but Season 17 of ...
