1. Noisy gearbox operation: • The bearings may be worn, in which case they will need to be replaced. • The countershaft can be worn, bent or have a large axial play. This must be replaced with a new countershaft. • Constant-mesh gears can be worn. The only alternative is their replacement. • Lack or…

A torque converter is a type of hydraulic coupling used to transfer rotating power from a vehicle’s engine to the transmission. Replaces a mechanical clutch in an automatic transmission. The torque converter is a type of hydraulic coupling used to transmit more torque to the shaft driven by a prime mover such as an engine….
What is Overdrive in Automobile Engineering Introduction to Overdrive An Overdrive is a component of a transmission system that is connected to the end of the gearbox to provide maximum driving power with minimum engine input which in turn makes for a smoother and more fuel-efficient ride. It is a planetary and planetary gear arrangement…
This is a manually operated transmission in which transmission changes occur between gears rotating at the same speed. The gears can roll freely or can be locked onto the layout shaft in this type of gearbox. Synchromesh Gear Box Construction: The synchronizer is positioned between two gears. So, we can use a unit for two…
Constant Mesh Gearbox was invented to push the boundaries of the sliding mesh gearbox. In this gearbox, all gears are always in gear. The gear stays fixed and does not slide like the sliding link gearbox. In this gearbox, the sliding link was replaced by gear pairs that constantly mesh and new gear shifting devices…
WHAT IS A GEARBOX? The gearbox is a mechanical device used to increase the output torque or to change the speed (RPM) of a motor. The shaft of the motor is connected to one end of the gearbox and through the internal configuration of gears of a gearbox, provides a given output torque and speed…
