DSG Quiz

Are you familiar with shaft 1 and 2, either as an input or output shaft. Can you name each shaft shown here?

Can you complete the chart of which parts are used for each gear selection?

The double clutch gearbox allows

• jolt-free selection of gears without interruption in pulling power.

• the vehicle to be driven like an automatic.

• the transmission of torque to be doubled.

The oil lubrication circuit is responsible for

How does the torque converter in an automatic transmission work?

• By using gears to convert engine torque into hydraulic pressure.

• By using fluid dynamics to transfer power from the engine to the transmission.

• By mechanically locking the engine to the transmission at high speeds.

What role does the differential play in a vehicle's drivetrain?

• To allow different wheels to rotate at different speeds while cornering.
