Manual transaxle

What is a key advantage of mounting the engine transversely in front-wheel drive vehicles?

• It increases the vehicle's speed.

• It saves space in the passenger compartment.

• It improves fuel efficiency.

• It enhances the vehicle's appearance.

In a five-speed transaxle, where does the power flow start?

• The primary or input shaft

• The differential assembly

• The final drive

• The secondary shaft

How is fifth gear generally achieved in a transaxle?

• By locking the constant mesh speed gear to the primary shaft

• By using a smaller gear on the primary shaft

• By using a hypoid gear set

• By reversing the direction of the secondary shaft

What is the primary function of synchronizers in a transmission system?

• To increase vehicle speed

• To ensure smooth gear changes

• To reduce engine noise

• To enhance fuel efficiency

Why are multi-cone synchronizers commonly used in modern vehicles?

• They are cheaper to produce.

• They allow for greater torque transfer without increasing component size.

• They are easier to install.

• They reduce the weight of the vehicle.
