The 4th gear ratio in a 5-speed transmission is commonly:

• 2:1

• 2:2

• 1:4

• 1:1

When mated gears are NOT the same size, if torque increases:

• Speed increases

• Speed reduces

• The diff is broken

• The torque converter is damaged

When a higher gear is engaged (higher vehicle speed) :

• Less torque is required

• More torque is required

• No torque is required

• Its called a crawler gear

The 5th gear is usually termed as ?

• Overdrive

• Underdrive

• The 5th wheel

• Opendrive

A clutch disc:

• Provides method of power transfer between the flex plate and input shaft.

• acts as a brake for the transmission.

• Provides method of power transfer between the flywheel and input shaft

• is very durable and resistant to damage from insufficient force from the pressure plate.
