Basic Manual Transmission & Drivetrain

The function of the manual transmission detent is: NOTE! There maybe more than one correct answer

• To prevent the engagement of two gears at the same time.

• To properly position the shift rod, fork and synchronizer.

• To provide for a positive shift feel.

• To prevent damage to the gears during shifting.

The manual transmission interlock mechanism is used to:

• Interlock the synchronizer sleeve to the speed gear

• Prevent the engagement of two gears at the same time.

• Engage reverse idler gear

• Interlock the transfer case to the transmission.

The spur gear is:

• Straight cut

• Angle cut

• Cut on two diagonal lines

• a very quite running gear set

The Helical gear is:

• Cut with straight teeth

• Cut with a double offset

• A noisy gear set

• Cut on an angle

The major advantage of a bevel gear set is:

• They run quite

• They don't need much lubrication

• The can change power flow direction by 90 degrees

• The run cool

The part of the synchronizer that is splined to the shaft is:

• Sleeve

• Hub

• Keys

• Blocker ring

The part of the synchronizer that grabs the gear for synchronization is:

• The Hub

• The Sleeve

• The Keys

• The Blocker ring

The part of the synchronizer that applies pressure to the blocker ring is:

• The keys

• The hub

• The spring

• The retention ring

The shift fork through the shift rod and shifter moves:

• The synchronizer sleeve

• The synchronizer hub

• The detent

• Interlock mechanism

When a small gear is driving a larger gear you will have:

• Underdrive

• Overdrive

• A speed increase

• A torque decrease
