Manual Transmissions

Match the following

• B. Spur gears

• Used to connect shafts that are not parallel to each other. Mainly used in final drives and transaxles

• C. helical gears

• Straight-cut gears that may be used for reverse gears in a manual transmission.

• D. ring gear

• Used as part of planetary gears in an automatic transmission.

• A. bevel gears

• Gears with teeth cut on an angle. Used in manual transmissions and transaxle final drives.

3. What is a compound gear train?

• A compound gear train is a type of gear train used in airplanes only.
• A compound gear train is a type of gear train that doesn't involve multiple gears.
• A compound gear train is a type of gear train that is only used in bicycles.
• Two or more gears joined together so they turn at the same speed.

Explain how reverse drive is achieved in a compound train.

• The same as first gear but backwards

• By meshing a reverse idler gear with other gears to change the direction of gear rotation.

List the three main shafts in a manual transmission.

• Reverse shaft

• cluster shaft
