CH3: Transmission Technology (week 7)

What is the purpose of the final drive gear assembly?

• To act as the first gear reduction in the vehicle

• To transmit power to the wheels at different speeds

• To increase RPM and decrease rotational torque

• To provide the final stage of gear reduction

What is the main advantage of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)?

• Decreases engine fatigue

• Greater fuel efficiency than manual transmissions

• Cheaper and lighter than Automatic transmissions

• Allows for an infinite number of gear ratios

What is the function of the differential in a vehicle?

• To act as the first gear reduction in the vehicle

• To decrease the speed of the wheels

• To increase the rotational speed of the transmission

• To aim the engine power at the wheels

What is the innovative feature of the lock up system in a torque converter?

• Eliminates the need for a clutch pedal

• Creates torque multiplication

• Increases slippage and reduces efficiency

• Connects the impeller with the turbine

What is the main disadvantage of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)?

• Decreases engine fatigue

• Allows for an infinite number of gear ratios

• Smooth, responsive and quiet to drive

• Limited torque capacity compared to manual transmissions

What is the main function of the planetary gearset in a transmission?

• Increases the rotational speed of the transmission

• Transmits power to the wheels at different speeds

• Provides the final stage of gear reduction

• Creates all the different gear ratios

What is the main advantage of Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) over Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)?

• Allows the driver to shift smoothly up and down through the speed ratios

• Constant, stepless acceleration

• Greater fuel efficiency than manual transmissions

• Cheaper and lighter than Automatic transmissions
