1.2.2 Chassis
The chassis consists of the power train or transmission system
the suspension sys—tern the steering system and the brake
system.The function of the chassis is receiving thepower of the
engine and making the car move normally.
In the typical front—engine front—drive vehicle,the power train
consists of a clutch andmanual transaxle''or a torque converter and
an automatic transaxle.The final drive and dif—ferential are
designed into the transaxle''and drive the wheels through
half—shafts with con—stant—velocityCVuniversal joints.
The transmission is the device in the power train that provides
different forward gearratios between the engine and drive wheels,as
well as neutral and reverse.The two generalClassifications of
transmission are manual transmission''which the driver shifts by
hand''and automatic transmission''which shifts automatically.
To shift a manual transmission,the clutch must first be
disengaged.However,somevehicles have automatic clutch disengagement
for manual transmissions''while other vehi—Cles have a limited
manual—shift capability for automatic transmissions.
In the power train''the final drive is the speed—reduction gear
set that drives the differ—ential.The final drive is made up of a
large ring gear driven by a smaller pinion''or piniongear.This
provides a gear reduction of about 3:1;the exact value can be
tailored to theengine.transmission,weight of the vehicle''and
performance or fuel economy desired.
In drive axles,the differential is the gear assembly between axle
shafts that permitsone wheel to rotate at a speed different from
that of the otherif necessary,while trans—mitting torque from the
final—drive ring gear to the axle shafts.When the vehicle is
corne—ring or making a turn,the differential allows the outside
wheel to travel a greater distancethan the inside
wheel;otherwise''one wheel would skid''causing tire wear and
partiallOSSnf,ontro.
