The drivetrain consists of several key components, including the engine, transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles. Each component plays a unique role in power delivery and ensuring smooth operation. Here is a more in-depth look at the components and the system in general: Power Generation The engine generates power by combusting fuel, which is converted into rotational motion. This rotational motion is transferred to the transmission. Transmission The transmission is responsible for controlling the power output from the engine and transmitting it to the wheels. It allows for gear shifting, enabling the vehicle to operate efficiently across different speeds and driving conditions. Driveshaft The driveshaft, also known as the propeller shaft, transfers power from the transmission to the differential. It is a long, cylindrical component that connects the transmission output shaft to the differential input shaft. Di ... read more
