General Information
Power Flow
(1) Drive axle. (2) U-joint. (3) Transmission. (4) Engine.
The basic components of the power train are engine
(4), Transmission (3), U-Joint(2), Drive axle(1) and the
final drives and wheels.
Two axle shafts connect the differential to two final
drives. The drive wheels are mounted to the final
drives.
Power from the engine goes through the flywheel into
the torque converter. Power then flows through a
transmission (3) and U-joint(2) to yoke of
drive axle(1).
The transmission has two hydraulically operated clutch
packs that are spring released.
The transmission has one speed in forward and one
speed in reverse.
Power from yoke of drive axle is sent through a spiral
bevel gear set to the differential.
The differential sends power out through the axles to
the final drives and wheels.
