Q

The sleeve that slides to lock the selected gear to the main shaft. The synchronizer sleeve is part of the synchronizer assembly.

A

synchronizer sleeve

15
Q

An electronic sensor that reads the driveshaft speed and sends either an analog or a digital signal to the computer that corresponds to the road speed of the vehicle.

A

vehicle speed sensor

16
Q

The cam and lock pin operated by an electronic solenoid that keeps the reverse gear in lockout until it is selected.

A

lockout solenoid

17
Q

A shifting mechanism or electronic control usually attached to the steering wheel.

18
Q

Oil seal flutes or swirls that are part of the oil seal and that create a pumping action to return oil to the transmission as the shaft rotates, enabling lubrication.

A

hydrodynamic seal

19
Q

A rod that is attached to the shift fork. These rails move when the shifter lever is moved against them.

A

selector shift rail

20
Q

A seal that is a complete circle. If a cutaway is done, it will also be a complete circle. These seals are usually set into a groove that is machined into the housing or part that does not move and is intended to be sealed.

A

o-ring seal

21
Q

A roller in the rear of the input shaft that supports the front of the main shaft.

A

pocket bearing

22
Q

An assembly that allows for the selection of gears without grinding by matching the speed of the two assemblies.

A

synchronizer

23
A long cylindrical roller held in position by a cage.
roller bearing
24
The lever that the driver uses to shift the transmission.
gear shift lever
25
The mechanism that holds or helps hold the shift rail into position to ensure that the gear does not pop out when selected and to let the driver feel when a shift is completed.
detent mechanism
26
A hydraulically controlled cylinder that engages or disengages the clutch pedal.
hydraulic actuator
27
Resistance encountered when a vehicle travels up a hill, requiring torque to be applied to overcome it.
gradient resistance
28
A shim of a prescribed thickness that is used to control shaft clearances in a transmission.
selective thickness shim
29
A technique used to shift gears when a non-synchronized transmission is used. The driver must push the clutch in multiple times to change gears.
double clutching
30
Typically a small-diameter pin rolling bearing that can be held in a cage or placed into the inside diameter of a hole.
needle roller bearing
31
A synchronizer part that increases or decreases a gear’s speed to match shaft speed so that the synchronizer sleeve can lock the gear to the shaft. Also called baulk ring.
blocking ring
32
A condition in which the engine and transmission output are turning at the same rate of speed.
direct drive
