Q

encompasses every component that converts the engine’s power into movement.

A

the powertrain

26
Q

is the name given to the group of components that drive the wheels

A

drivetrain

27
Q

So all the bits in between the engine and wheels that produce, develop or assist drive are what make up _______

A

the drivetrain.

28
Q

for front, rear and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all quite different, due to the need to send the engine’s power out to the wheels in different way

A

Drivetrains

29
Q

is the gearbox and clutch, which transmits and converts power from the engine into twist (rotational force) for the wheels.

A

tRANSMISSION

30
Q

engages or disconnects the turning engine from the gears as they are shifted up, down, or into neutral.

A

clutch

31
Q

are the way of best harnessing and optimizing the engine’s power no matter what speed you are travelling.

A

Gears

32
Q

produces more force at lower speeds, i.e. to get you off the line, while a high gear produces less force at higher speeds to keep you rolling along rapidly.

A

low gear (first or second)

33
Q

named for its need for manual selection of the gears via the stick shift and operation of the clutch by the driver’s left foot.

A

manual

34
Q

original and still the simplest type of transmission

A

manual

35
Q

uses a complex set of gears controlled by the car’s computer to take the manual selection process away from the driver. Aut­omatic

Q

driving a manual without the step of engaging a clutch.

A

semi-auto

39
Q

uses a separate clutch for the odd and even gears, which means that while one gear is in use, the next gear – be it higher or lower - is always ready to go at a moment’s notice. This equates to super-fast shifts.

A

Dual-Clutch Transmission

40
Q

does away with gears altogether and instead employs a pulley system controlled by the car’s computer, aiming to offer the optimum gear ratio for any given driving situation.

A

The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)

41
Q

Also called a propeller (prop) shaft,

A

drive shaft

42
Q

this is a long rotating shaft that runs all the way down the centre of the vehicle, bridging the gap between engine/transmission and the wheels by sending twist to the waiting rubber.

A

propeller (prop) shaft

43
Q

allows the driven wheels to rotate at different speeds, increasing grip.

A

The differential

44
Q

without a ______, the driven wheels would be locked together and forced to spin at the same speed. This isn’t a problem on the straights, but on corners – particularly when they are tight or taken with some haste – it would leave one wheel spinning uselessly.
